ORa^N^IZ^TION 


OF   THE 


Military  of  Alleglieny  County. 


On  the  llth  of  April,  1861,  the  Secession  movements  in  the  South — al- 
ready endorsed  by  Legislative  action  in  Several  States — culminated  in  a  de- 
mand by  General  Beauregard,  commander  of  the  rebel  troops,  for  a  surren- 
der of  Fort  Sumter,  in  the  harbor  of  Charleston.  The  refusal  of  Major 
Anderson  to  surrender  was  followed,  on  the  12th  inst.,  by  an  assault  on  the 
fort,  which,  after  a  two  days'  bombardment,  was  capitulated,  and  the  Uni- 
ted States  garrison,  comprising  less  than  ninety  men,  left  the  fort  on  the 
14th  inst.  with  the  honors  of  war,  saluting  their  flag.  '  No  loss  of  life  had 
occured  during  the  bombardment,  but  by  the  bursting  of  a  gun  in  firing  the 
salute  two  men  were  killed  and  four  wounded. 

The  most  intense  excitement  throughout  the  North  followed  the  announce- 
ment of  the  attack  on  Fort  Sumter,  and  on  the  15th  of  April  the  President 
issued  a  proclamation  calling  upon  the  States  to  furnish  75,000  militia,  to 
suppress  the  rebellion,  and  summoning  an  extra  session  of  Congress  on  the 
4th  of  July  following.  The  quota  of  Pennsylvania,  under  this  call  for 
troops,  was  fixed  at  sixteen  regiments,  and  the  command  of  the  Western 
Division  of  the  State  assigned  to  Brigadier-General  Negley,  for  the  purpose 
of  organizing  the  troops. 

The  call  for  volunteers  found  Allegheny  County,  like  all  other  parts  of 
the  State,  almost  unprovided  with  military  organizations.  There  were  in 
the  two  cities  ten  volunteer  companies — the  Jackson  Independent  Blues, 
Duquesne  Greys,  Washington  Infantry,  Allegheny  Rifles,  Pennsylvania 
Dragoons,  Pittsburgh  Turner  Rifles,  Lafayette  Blues,  Pennsylvania  Zou- 
aves, National  Guards  and  United  States  Zouave  Cadets — several  of  which

had  been  organized  during  the  military  furore  following  the  visit  of  the 
Chicago  Zouaves,  in  1860,  In  the  county  there  were  also  a  few  volunteer 
organizations — the  Pennsylvania  Infantry,  at  East  Liberty,  Alliquippa 
Guards,  M'Keesport,  Turtle  Creek  Guards,  Turtle  Creek,  two  companies  in 
Birmingham,  St.  Clair  Guards,  Union  Artillery,  National  Lancers,  and  one 
or  two  others. 

The  greatest  enthusiasm  followed  the  announcement  of  the  call  for 
volunteers.  Scores  of  companies  were  set  on  foot  and  tendered  their  ser- 
vices to  the  Governor.  On  the  15th  instant  recruiting  began  throughout 
the  county,  and  on  the  17th,  the  first  detachment  of  Turner  Rifles,  eighty 
men,  under  Captain  Amlung,  left  for  Harrisburg.  The  remainder  of  the 
company,  which  was  organized  from  the  German  Turner  Association,  left 
on  the  following  day.  On  the  same  day,  the  Hannibal  Guards,  a  company 
of  colored  men,  also  tendered  their  services.  On  the  18th,  Trovillo's  In- 
vincibles,  Robinson'  Light  Guards,  M'Dowell's  State  Guards,  and  Gerard's 
Pennsylvania  Zouaves,  left  for  Harrisburg,  followed,  on  the  20th,  by  a  "sec- 
ond detachment,"  and  Rippey's  Scott  Legion,  Gallagher's  Shields  Guards, 
and  Alliquippa  Guards,  of  M'Keesport.  On  the  22d,  the  first  regiment  was 
organized  in  Allegheny  County  by  General  Negley  :

The  Negley  Zouaves,  Capt.  0.  M.  Irvine,  were  assigned  to  the  3d  Regi- 
ment, of  which  Capt.  Irvine  was  chosen  Major ;  1st  Lieut.  Lawson  succeed- 
ing to  the  Captaincy. 

The  Alliquippa  Guards,  Capt.  Snider,  were  attached  to  the  14th  Regi- 
ment, Col.  John  W.  Johnston. 

While  these  companies  were  recruiting,  the  community  was  in  a  constant 
whirl  of  excitement.  Public  buildings,  stores,  and  even  private  houses 
were  profusely  decorated  with  flags  of  all  sizes  and  qualities.  Private  sub- 
scriptions for  the  benefit  of  individuals  and  companies  were  raised  liberally 
— amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  thousands  of  dollars.  Revolvers,  swords, 
bowie  knives,  sashes,  and  other  weapons  and  military  decorations  were  pre- 
sented by  hundreds,  individuals,  companies,  and  corporations  vieing  with 
each  other  in  liberality.  By  the  efl"orts  of  a  few  individuals,  in  some  in- 
stances, whole  companies  were  uniformed ;  but  we  regret  to  say,  the  materi- 
als and  make,  in  some  cases,  soon  proved  to  be  of  the  shabbiest  character. 
Thus  several  companies  of  the  three  months  volunteers  were  twice  supplied 
with  clothing  within  a  few  weeks ;  once  before  leaving  home,  and  again  by 
the  State,  with  "shoddy"  suits,  and  both  of  such  miserable  materials  as 
to  fall  to  pieces  before  the  campaign  had  fairly  commenced,  causing  much 
needless  suff"ering  among  the  raw  recruits. 

During  this  period  of  excitement,  the  ladies  took  their  full  share  of  lab- 
or, sewing  gratuitously  for  the  soldiers,  making  lint  and  hospital  supplies, 
and  providing  such  delicacies  as  their  means  permitted.  Hundreds  of  have- 
locks  were  made,  but  the  discovery  that  the  white  colored  stufi"  of  Avhich  they 
were  made  had  an  injurious  efi'ect  on  the  eyes  of  the  rear  rank  men,  put  a 
sudden  stop  to  the  manufacture.  Private  subscriptions  were  raised  to  pro- 
vide means  both  for  the  outfitting  of  the  volunteers  and  for  the  defence  of 
the  city.  Messrs.  Knapp,  Rudd  &  Co.,  of  the  Fort  Pitt  works,  generously 
tendering  the  heavy  ordnance  for  the  purpose. 

Departure  of  Allegheny  County  Troops. 

On  the  24th  of  April — eleven  days  after  the  President  called  for  75,000 
men — the  last  detachment  (excepting  two  companies)  of  the  12th  and  13th 
Regiments,  left  for  Ilarrisburg.  At  an  early  hour  in  the  day  the  troops 
mustered  and  repaired  to  the  East  Common,  Allegheny,  where  a  grand  re- 
view had  been  announced  to  come  ofi*.  A  slight  rain  had  been  falling, 
which  increased  to  a  heavy  shower  as  the  review  was  about  commencing, 
and  continued  without  intermission,  interfering  greatly  with  the  Command- 
ing General's  arrangement  for  a  grand  demonstration.  The  review  did  not 
come  ofi",  the  soldiers  instead  plodding  their  way,  through  the  muddy  streets 
and  torrents  of  rain,  to  the  railroad  depot,  which  they  reached  in  dilapida- 
ted plight,  the  column  marching  through  Western  avenue,  Ohio  and  Feder- 
al streets  to  the  river,  across  the  Suspension  bridge,  up  St.  Clair  and  Fifth 


Of  Alleglieny  Couniy. 


streets  to  Smithfield,  thence  to  Sixth  and  down  to  Liberty,  where  three 
trains,  consisting  of  thirty-three  cars,  were  in  waiting  to  transport  them  to 
the  State  Capital.  On  the  route  a  beautiful  silk  flag  was  presented  to  the 
12th  Regiment  by  the  ladies  of  Allegheny,  and  received  by  Capt.  R.  Bid- 
die  Roberts,  of  the  U.  S.  Zouave  Cadets.  This  demonstration  took  place 
at  the  house  of  Wm.  Bagaley,  Esq.,  on  Western  Avenue. 

Before  the  troops  reached  the  trains,  the  arrangements  for  supplying  a 
comfortable  lunch  were  perfected.  A  day's  rations  of  bread  and  meat  had 
been  placed  on  each  man's  seat,  and  his  tin  cup  filled  with  excellent  cofiee, 
most  gladly  welcomed  by  the  soldiers  after  their  trudge  through  mud  and 
rain.  In  Kier's  warehouse,  near  the  depot,  a  table  was  bountifully  sup- 
plied, and  but  few  failed  "to  pay  their  respects"  to  it.  Credit  for  this 
timely  supply  of  comfort  for  the  inner  man  is  due  mainly  to  the  citizens 
who  subsequently  organized  the  Subsistence  Committee,  of  which  we  will 
hereafter  speak. 

About  twelve  o'clock,  m.,  the  first  (and  largest)  train  moved  off  amid  the 
most  enthusiastic  demonstrations,  waving  of  handkerchiefs  from  the  win- 
dows and  housetops,  and  deafening  cheers  from  the  spectators,  all  cheerful- 
ly responded  to  by  the  men  in  the  cars.  At  least  ten  thousand  people  had 
collected  to  wave  farewell  to  the  "gallant  three  monthsers."  The  smaller 
trains  followed  the  first  at  brief  intervals,  and  the  crowd  was  not  cleared  off 
until  long  after  the  first  car  was  out  of  sight. 

The  first  train  arrived  at  Huntingdon  at  half-past  six  p.  m.,  and  simulta- 
neous with  its  arrival  the  soldiers  were  besieged  by  citizens  bearing  baskets 
of  boiled  eggs,  sandwiches,  crackers,  cheese,  hot  coffee,  &c.  The  second 
and  third  trains  stopped  at  Altoona,  and  the  men  were  there  fed  at  the  ex- 
pense of  the  Government. 

The  trains  arrived  at  Harrisburg  between  one  and  two  o'clock  on  the 
morning  of  the  25th,  and  the  men  were  quartered  in  churches  and  in  the 
capitol.  On  the  afternoon  of  the  same  day  the  regiments  were  mustered 
into  the  service  of  the  United  States,  on  the  square  fronting  the  State  Cap- 
itol, on  each  side  of  which  the  12th  and  13th  regiments  were  formed  in 
line.     After  the  ceremony.  Gov.  Curtin  passed  in  review. 

Col,  Campbell's  regiment,  the  12th,  left  the  same  evening  for  "  Camp 
Scott,"  at  York,  and  Col.  Rowley's  left  on  the  following  day  for  the  same 
destination. 

At    Oamp    Scott, 


of  which  Brig.  Gen.  Wynkoop  was  in  command,  were  the  1st,  2d,  3d,  12th, 
13th  and  16th  Regiments,  numbering  in  all  about  5,000  men.  Beside 
the  Allegheny  county  companies  in  the  12th  and  13th,  another  company, 
the  Negley  Zouaves,  were  in  the  3d.  The  men  suffered  much  for  the 
want  of  sufficient  clothing,  which  was  not  furnished  for  some  time  after 
their  arrival  at  York. 

On  the  29th  of  April  Gen.  Negley  issued  his  first  General  Order,  assum- 
ing command  of  the  12th  and  13th  regiments,  Capt.  Leasure,  of  Lawrence 
county,  acting  as  Adjutant  General. 

Major  General  Keim,  with  his  aid,  Col.  Schaffer,  of  Lancaster,  arrived  at 
York  on  May  6th,  and  assumed  control  of  affairs.     Two  days  after,  Captain

Ekin,  quartermaster  of  the  12th,  left  Philadelphia,  with  requisitions  for 
clothing  and  accoutrements  for  all  the  troops  in  camp  Scott.  He  returned 
on  the  12th,  having  been  successful  in  his  mission. 

At  this  time,  the  bridges  on  the  Northern  Central  Railroad,  (destroyed 
by  the  rebels,)  had  been  rebuilt,  and  trains  began  running  regularly  from 
Harrisburg  to  Baltimore,  a  special  train  going  through  on  the  9th. 

Gen.  Negley,  by  direction  of  Maj.  Gen.  Keim,  had  added  to  his  brigade 
(the  Fourth,)  the  14th  and  15th  Regiments,  in  camp  at  Lancaster.  The 
Alliquippa  Guards,  Capt.  Snyder,  of  McKeesport,  were  Co.  K,  in  the 
14th. 

The  subject  of  re-enlisting  for  three  years  or  the  war  was  now  agitated, 
and   excited    considerable  discussion.     The  question  was  not  put  to  the  j 
men,  and  the  reports  that  they  refused  to  re-enlist  are  false.     Being  half  a 
month  in  the  service  without  equipments,  when  other  regiments  subsequent-  I 
ly  organized  were  already  in  the  field,  abundantly  supplied  with  everything,  | 
the  men  of  the  12th  and  13th,  were  in  no  amiable  mood.     On  the  3d  of  | 
May,   Governor   Curtin  was  advised  that  there  were  three  very  fine  regi- ! 
ments  in  Philadelphia  ready  to  go  into  service,  and  was  urged  to  accept ; 
them.     They  were  accepted  and  at  once  equipped  and  sent  ofi".     Wheni 
Capt.  Ekin  visited  Philadelphia,  he  was  informed  that  the  12th  and   13th  | 
regiments  were  in  excess,  and  that  unless  they  enlisted  for  three  years  they  | 
would  be  sent  home.     The  acceptance  of  the  Philadelphia  regiments  had 
more  than  filled  the   State's  quota  of  three  months  men,  and  hence  the 
12th  and  13th,  although  fully  organized  in  less  than  two  weeks  after  the 
call  for  troops,  were  to  be  crowded  out.     But,  through  the  active  exertions 
of  one  of  our  Representatives  in  Congress,  Hon.  J.  K.  Moorhead,  the  Sec- 
retary of  War  set  all  things  straight.     Who  was  to  blame  for  this  trouble 
we  cannot  say,  but  it  seems,  through  somebody's  inadvertance  or  neglect, 
that  the  War  Department  had  not  been  advised  of  the  organization  of  the 
Allegheny  county  regiments. 

On  the  10th  of  May,  (Sunday,)  Gov.  Curtin,  with  his  Aid,  Col.  R.  Bid- 
die  Roberts,  reviewed  the  troops  at  York.  Brig.  Gens.  Negley  and  Wyn- 
koop  appeared  with  their  brigades. 

The  first  instalment  of  overcoats  and  accoutrements  reached  York  on  the 
19th,  another  on  the  following  day,  and  from  day  to  day  until  all  the 
troops  in  Camp  Scott  were  fully  clothed,  equipped  and  furnished  with  Camp 
equipage.  The  inferiority  and  absolutely  rottenness  of  the  clothing  excited 
much  comment  and  not  a  little  indignation. 

About  this  time  Gen.  Negley  left  York  for  Lancaster,  to  see  after  the 
interests  of  the  14th  and  15th  Regiments.  His  separation  from  the  12th 
and  13th  Regiments,  it  was  at  first  supposed,  would  be  but  temporary,  but 
turned  out  that  they  were  taken  out  of  his  command  entirely,  as  he  exercised 
no  control  over  them  from  the  time  of  his  leaving  York,  and  during  the  re- 
mainder of  the  campaign  lie  had  but  one  company  from  Allegheny  county 
under  his  command — the  Alliquippa  Guards.  This  was  much  against  his 
wishes,  as  well  as  against  the  desire,  we  believe,  of  a  majority  of  the  Alle- 
gheny volunteers. 

On  the  25th — having  remained  at  Camp  Scott  exactly  one  month — the 
12th  Regiment  received   marching   orders  and  was    stationed  along   the 


Of  Allegheny  County, 


Northern  Central  Railroad,  guarding  it  from  the  destructive  intentions  of 
the  rebels.  The  regiment  remained  there  until  the  expiration  of  their  term 
of  service. 

On  the  3d  of  June,  the  13th  received  marching  orders,  and  on  the  follow- 
ing day  left  Camp  Scott  for  Charabersburg,  at  which  place  it  arrived  on  the 
morning  of  the  7th,  and  Avent  into  "Cantonment  Rowley,"  west  of  the  town, 
in  the  Fair  Grounds,  where  it  remained  a  few  da3^s,  removing  thence,  on 
on  the  12th,  four  miles  South,  to  "Camp  Brady."  Here  the  regiment  was 
placed  in  the  brigade  of  Col.  Dixon  S.  Miles,  U.  S.  A.,  composed  of  the 
9th  and  16th  P.  V.,  and  detachments  of  the  2d  and  3d  Infantry,  (regulars.) 
The  15th  found  the  regiment  at  "Camp  Riley,"  in  Md.,  a  mile  and  a  half 
from  the  Potomac,  and  on  the  following  day  it  was  at  "Camp  Hitchcock," 
in  Berkeley  County,  Va.,  two  miles  South  of  the  Potomac,  which  river  it 
crossed,  with  Gen.  Patterson's  army,  at  Williamsport. 

Before  daylight  on  the  17th,  the  regiment,  with  the  brigade  to  which  it 
was  attached,  retreated  across  the  Potomac  to  Williamsport,  and  took  up 
quarters  at  "  Camp  Miles,"  adjoining  the  town.  Here  Col.  Miles  and  his 
regulars  were  detached  and  left  for  Washington  City.  The  regiment  re- 
mained at  this  point,  spending  the  time  most  agreeably,  until  the  4th  of  July. 

At  the  Ledger  office,  in  Williamsport,  some  of  the  13th  boys  printed  a 
newspaper,  entitled,  "  The  Pennsylvania  Thirteenth,"  dated  "  Camp 
Miles,   July  4th,  1861." 

M.  Swartzwelder,  Esq.,  having  paid  the  camp  a  visit,  witnessed  the 
spectacle  of  a  company  parading  in  drawers,  a  supply  of  which  they  had 
just  received.  He  was  convinced,  after  examining  a  few  of  the  pantaloons 
worn  by  the  soldiers,  that  it  was  not  the  warmth  of  the  weather  that  in- 
duced them  (the  men)  to  come  out  in  clean  drawers  in  the  presence  of  spec- 
tators, rather  than  in  pants  which  would  not  cover  their  nakedness. 

As  an  evidence  of  the  feeling  concerning  the  "shoddy"  clothing,  the 
"  local  "  of  the  "  Thirteen  "  thus  dilated  : 

"  We  advertise  for  sale  a  choice  lot  of  rags,  (material  unknown)  formerly 
put  together  as  soldiers'  clothing.  If  Mr.  Neil,  of  Philadelphia,  wishes  to 
assist  in  a  speculation,  he  will  find  his  services  appreciated  by  applying  to 
the  13th  Regiment." 

On  the  day  of  the  publication  of  the  paper,  and  while  Sergt.  Maj.  Cal- 
low was  working  the  press,  without  positive  orders  the  13th  crossed  the 
Potomac  the  third  time.  Being  short  of  rations,  and  directed  not  to  move 
until  his  commissary  department  had  been  replenished,  Col.  Rowley  formed 
the  regiment  in  line  on  the  bank  of  the  river,  and  put  the  question  to  the 
men  whether  they  would  be  content  to  live  for  five  days  on  three  day's  ra- 
tions. An  affirmative  reply  was  given,  and  five  minutes  later  the  regiment 
filed  into  the  Potomac,  while  Doubleday's  guns  were  belching  forth  salutes 
in  honor  of  the  day.  Arrived  in  Martinsburg  on  the  same  day,  (the  sec- 
ond after  the  fight  at  Falling  Waters,)  and  remained  there  until  the  15th, 
when  Patterson's  army  moved  to  Bunker  Hill,  twelve  miles  distant  from 
Winchester.  Here  it  rested  in  quietude,  barring  the  nightly  alarms,  (caused 
by  timorous  picket  guards)  until  the  18th,  when  the  army  moved,  NOT  to  Win- 
chester, as  was  generally  expected,  but  to  Charleston,  in  the  direction  of  Har- 


10  Military  Becord 


per's  Ferry.  Remaining  at  Charleston  for  a  few  days,  the  line  of  march 
was  taken  up  for  the  Ferry,  where  the  Potomac  was  crossed  a  fourth 
time.  EncampinfT  for  a  night  opposite  Maryland  Heights,  the  regiment 
headed  for  Hngerstown,  marching  some  twenty-two  miles  in  nine  hours. 
The  men  knew  they  were  going  home,  their  term  of  service  having  expired. 
At  HagerstoAvn  they  took  the  cars  for  Chambersburg,  thence  to  Harrisburg, 
arriving  in  Pittsburg  on  the  29th  of  July.  They  were  regularly  mus- 
tered out  and  paid  oft  a  few  days  afterward.  So  ends  a  brief  history  of  the 
bloodless  campaign  of  the  three  months  men. 

The  13th  regiment,  together  with  the  companies  in  the  3d,  7th  and  14th, 
saw  quite  as  much  service  as  any  of  the  three  months  troops  attached  to 
Gen.  Patterson's  division,  while  the  12th  regiment  did  most  efficient  service 
in  performing  the  duty  to  which  it  was  assigned. 

The  companies  in  the  5th  remained  about  Washington  City,  and  were 
among  the  very  first  troops  which  arrived  to  defend   the  National  Capital. 

The  7th  regiment  went  from  Harrisburg  to  Camp  Slifer,  near  Chambers- 
burg, and  was  assigned  to  the  Brigade  of  Gen.  Williams.  It  crossed  the 
Potomac  with  Patterson's  army,  and  continued  with  it  in  the  marches  from 
Willianisport  to  Harper's  Ferry,  whence  the  three  months  men  were  all 
sent  home. 

While  at  Charleston,  the  battle  of  Bull  Run  took  place,  and  on  the  day 
previous  the  13th  was  ordered  to  proceed  some  twenty  miles  in  the  direc- 
tion of  Winchester  to  burn  some  bridges  and  tear  up  railroad  tracks,  and 
had  started  on  their  mission.  The  order,  however,  was  countermanded, 
while  Capt.  M.  K.  Moorhead,  the  Quartermaster,  was  endeavoring  to  pro- 
cure the  necessary  tools. 

The  Alliquippa  Guards,  of  McKeesport,  Capt.  Christian  Snyder  and 
Lieut. 's  F.  Shaum  and  George  Haast, — attached  to  the  14th  Regiment,  Col. 
J.  W.  Johnston,  of  Westmoreland,  remained  at  Lancaster  for  a  considera- 
ble time,  going  thence  to  Chambersburg  and  participating  in  the  campaign 
through  the  Cumberland  Valley  and  Virginia.  On  the  14th  of  July,  at 
Camp  Negley,  near  Hagerstown,  Md.,  the  officers  of  the  Guards  resigned, 
because,  as  they  stated,  no  provisions  were  furnished  their  men.  The  re- 
signations were  accepted  by  Gen.  Negley,  who  appointed  other  officers, 
viz  :  Capt.  Jas.  A.  Lowrie,  and  1st  Lieut.  Alexander  Forsyth,  both  of  whom 
were  on  the  General's  staft",  and  the  latter  afterwards  assigned  as  Quarter- 
master of  the  14th  Regiment,  with  James  H.  Snodgrass,  as  assistant. 

The  Negley  Zouaves,  of  East  Liberty,  Capt.  Lawson,  also  actively 
participated  in  the  three  months  campaign,  doing  guard  duty  on  the 
radroad  at  Hagerstown  for  a  short  time.

THE  COMMITTEE  OF  PUBLIC  SAFETY. 


Pending  the  organization  of  the  A^olunteer  militia  of  the  county,  active 
exertions  ^vere  making  in  the  community  in  the  furtherance  of  the  county's 
cause.  One  of  the  most  important  bodies  ever  organized  in  the  country 
was  set  on  foot,  and  for  months  afterwards  exercised  a  controlling  in- 
fluence in  all  military  affairs  in  the  county.  The  duties  of  the  Commit- 
tee of  Public  Safety  were  multifarious  and  laborious,  yet  they  were 
attended  to  with  a  vigilance  and  promptitude  that  will  forever  reflect  credit 
on  the  members.  On  the  15th  of  April  an  immense  mass  meeting  was 
held  in  City  Hall.  Never  before  had  so  many  persons  gathered  within 
its  walls — never  had  the  same  unanimity  of  sentiment  been  displayed. 
This  meeting  adopted  a  series  of  resolutions  pertinent  to  the  crisis,  the 
fourth  of  which  authorized  the  appointment  of  a  Committe  of  One  Hun- 
dred, to  act  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  "patriot  cause."  This  com- 
mittee, which  was  announced  by  the  venerable  chairman  of  the  meeting, 
Judge  Wilkins,  on  the  17th,  was  composed  of  prominent  citizens  of  all 
parties,  and  temporarily  organized  by  electing  Thomas  Bakewell,  Esq., 
President ;  John  Birmingham,  W.  Bagaley,  Hon.  Thomas  M.  Howe,  Wm. 
F.  Johnston,  C.  Zug- and  G.  W.  Cass,  Vice  Presidents;  and  T.  Steel,  C. 
McKnight,   T.  J.  Bigham  and  T.  B.  Hamilton,    Secretaries. 

A  committee  appointed  on  permanent  organization,  at  a  meeting  on  the 
18th,  reported  the  following  permanent  officers :  Hon.  William  Wilkins, 
President ;  Hon.  Thomas  M.  Howe,  Hon.  William  F.  Johnston,  Willijim 
Bagaley,  James  P.  Barr,  John  Birmingham  and  George  W.  Cass,  Vice 
Presidents;  Messrs.  William  M.  Hersh,  John  W.  Riddell,  George  H. 
Thurston,  Wm,  Woods,  Jos.  R.  Hunter  and  Thos.  D.  Hamilton,  Secretai-ies 
and  Jas.  M'Auley,  Treasurer.  The  committee  also  reported  the  propriety 
of  creating  three  sub-committees,  viz :  Finance,  Home  Defence,  and  Ex- 
ecutive Committees,  the  organization  of  which,  for  obvious  reasons,  was  not 
made  public.  The  committees  at  once  entered  upon  their  duties  in  col- 
lecting funds  and  organizing  the  residents  of  the  county  into  companies 
and  regiments  of  Home  Guards.  The  duties  of  the  Executive  Committee 
were  of  an  extremely  delicate  character.  At  the  outbreaking  of  the  re- 
bellion, there  were  in  every  community  in  the  North  numbers  of  residents 
who  sympathized,  more  or  less  openly,  with  the  rebels,  and  continued  to 
supply  them,  for  some  lime,  with  articles  contraband  of  war.  These  arti- 
cles were  forwarded  by  railroad  and  express  to  points  in  the  West,  from 
which  they  could  readily  be  distributed  to  the  South.     It  became  the  duty 


12  •     Military  Record 


of  the  committee  to  intercept  these  contraband  shipments,  and  to  put  a 
stop,  as  quietly  as  possible,  to  the  public  expression  of  disloyal  sentiments. 
For  some  weeks  their  labors  were  arduous,  but  finally  resulted  in  a  com- 
plete suppression  of  the  illegal  traffic.  Hon.  Wm.  F.  Johnston,  Hon.  Thos. 
Howe,  Hon.  Wm.  Wilkins,  Hon.  John  E.  Parke,  George  W.  Cass,  George 
P.  Hamilton,  Thomas  S.  Blair,  James  H.  Sewell,  James  Park,  jr.,  James 
M'Auley,  James  B.  Murray,  William  M.  Lyon,  Thomas  Steel,  William  R. 
Brown,  James  Herdman,  J.  R.  M'Cune,  C.  W.  Batchelor,  Wm.  M.  Shinn, 
William  Phillips,  Thomas  Bakewell,  James  A.  Hutchinson,  H.  M'Cullough, 
Reuben  Miller,  jr,,  Edward  Gregg,  Samuel  Dilworth,  William  J.  Morrison, 
Isaac  Jones,  M.  Swartzwelder,  William  Coleman,  Dr,  George  M'Cook,  sr., 
P.  C.  Shannon,  and  Edward  H.  Stowe,  formed  this  committee,  of  which 
William  F.  Johnston  was  elected  chairman,  and  Thomas  JM.  Howe  Vice 
President,  Geo.  H.  Thurston,  Secretary  of  the  Committee  of  Public  Safety 
and  J.  A.  Hutchinson,  were  appointed  secretaries.  Mr.  Thurston,  from  his 
wide  acquaintance  in  the  community  and  his  experience  in  business  of  a 
kindred  nature,  was  enabled  to  be  of  great  service  to  the  committee  in 
the  transaction  of  its  business. 

At  a  mass  meeting  of  citizens  held  some  time  after  the  formation  of 
the  committee,  another  committee  was  appointed  to  confer  with  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  being  subsequently  consolidated  with  it.  It  was  composed 
of  Messrs.  B.  C.  Sawyer,  A.  C.  Alexander,  James  M.  Cooper,  Wm.  Robin- 
son, jr.,  Wm.  K.  Nimick,  John  Harper,  Robert  Ashworth,  Francis  Sellers, 
F.  R.  Brunot,  B.  F.  Jones,  T.  J.  Bigham,  John  Myler,  Wm.  Semple,  Jas. 
P.  Tanner,  Saml.  Wickersham  and  James  French.  The  original  committee 
was  in  constant  session  for  several  weeks,  day  and  night.  The  joint  com- 
mittee was  chiefly  engaged  with  business  relative  to  the  defence  of  the  city. 
The  last  meeting  of  the  committee  was  held  on  Sept.  16th,  1861,  there  be- 
ing no  emergency  from  that  date  until  September,  1862,  which  required 
their  attention. 

The  Executive  Committee,  or  rather,  the  Committee  on  Munitions  of  War, 
Messrs.  Jos.  Dilworth,  Geo.  M'Cook,  E.  D.  Gazzam,  Jonas  R.  McClintock, 
and  Robert  Finney,  on  the  25th  of  April  published  a  notice  to  shippers,  to 
report  all  goods  supposed  to  be  contraband  to  the  committee,  sitting  in 
permanent  session.  The  Committee  on  the  Transit  of  Contraband  Goods — 
Messrs.  George  McCook,  M.  D.,  Henry  Hays,  E.  D.  Gazzam,  Jonas  R. 
McClintock  and  W.  E.  Fundenburg, — on  the  28th,  passed  the  following 
resolutions  : 

"  Resolved,  That  all  goods  arriving  at  Pittsburg,  and  destined  for  South- 
ern States,  be  stopped  for  the  present,  stored  and  insured. 

"  Resolved,  That  no  packages  whatever  shall  be  alloAved  to  go  forward  to 
Southern  States  till  they  have  been  opened  and  examined  by  the  Committee. 

"  Resolved,  That  one  or  more  packers  be  employed  to  attend  to  the 
opening  of  boxes  and  other  packages  and  repacking  the  same." 

The  Committee  still  exercised  a  supervision  over  shipments  during  the 
summer.  On  the  28th  of  August,  while  the  Collector  of  Customs  was  ex- 
amining an  Express  car  load  v/f  goods  and  munitions  of  war,  a  box  of  "fric- 
tion tubes,"  used  in  firing  army  ordnance,  exploded.     Mr.  James  Batch- 


Of  Allegheny  County,  13 


elor,  a  brother  of  Captain  Chas.  W.  Batclielor,  Collector  of  Customs,  who 
was  standing  beside  the  car,  had  his  leg  broken  by  a  splinter.  Wm.  Mc- 
Laughlin, Expressman,  John  Maher,  stableman,  and  Michael  Regan, 
laborer,  were  at  work  in  the  car.  McLaughlin  was  frightfully  lacerated 
about  the  face  and  stomach,  and  one  of  his  eyes  badly  injured.  Maher  was 
also  terribly  injured,  his  right  side  being  lacerated,  his  left  knee  laid  open 
to  the  bone,  and  his  right  arm,  wrist  and  hand  torn  and  mangled.  All  for- 
tunately recovered.  The  cause  of  the  explosion  could  never  be  clearly  as- 
certained, as  the  tubes  are  packed  with  extreme  care. 

The  Home  Guards. 

LTnder  the  auspices  of  the  Committee  on  Home  Defence,  preliminary 
meetings  were  held  in  nearly  all  the  wards  of  the  two  cities,  on  the  20th  of 
April,  for  the  purpose  of  organizing  a  militia  for  home  defence,  and  during 
the  fortnight  following,  organizations  were  perfected  in  almost  every  pre- 
cinct in  the  county.  Some  of  the  companies  adopted  a  cheap  uniform, 
others  merely  assumed  a  military  cap,  while  a  large  number  sought  no 
uniformity  of  dress  or  equipment.  About  the  1st  of  May,  the  Committee 
were  authorized  by  the  State  authorities  to  draw  from  the  arsenal  muskets 
and  rifles  for  the  Home  Guards.  The  arms  were  accordingly  furnished  by 
Maj.  Symington,  and,  together  with  a  large  number  purchased  by  the  Com- 
mittee, stored  in  City  Hall,  which  was  placed  under  a  strong  guard  for  sev- 
eral weeks.  Prior  to  the  departure  of  the  last  detachments  of  volunteers, 
1139  muskets  and  rifles  were  also  distributed  among  them  by  the  Committee. 
As  the  companies  of  Home  Guards  were  organized,  they  were  reported  to 
the  Committee,  inspected  and  sworn,  and  on  the  3d  of  May  the  distribution 
of  arms  commenced,  companies  of  riflemen  receiving  fifty  rifles,  and  infantry 
companies  seventy  muskets.  The  muskets  were  generally  old  ^'  Harper's 
Ferry"  flint  locks,  but  answered  admirably  all  the  purposes  of  drill.  The 
rifles  were  of  the  old  pattern,  without  bayonets,  but  in  other  respects  first- 
rate  arms.  Forty-five  companies  were  inspected  on  the  first  day,  of  which 
twenty  were  supplied  with  arms.  In  the  course  of  the  ensuing  fortnight, 
all  the  companies  organized  were  armed  and  under  competent  officers  were 
being  actively  drilled.  On  Friday,  May  11th,  the  last  company — the 
Allegheny  Grenadiers,  Capt.  Wray — were  supplied  with  arms.  The  com- 
mittee then  reported  a  distribution  of  2088  muskets  and  882  rifles.  Five 
thousand  five  hundred  men  were  organized  into  Home  Guard  companies. 
Before  distributing  the  arms,  the  committee  required  bonds  from  the  officers 
of  the  several  companies.  The  organization,  as  might  have  been  expected, 
was  made  the  target  of  not  a  little  idle  and  malicious  wit,  and  finally  suc- 
cumbed to  ridicule  and  loss  of  novelty.  Nevertheless,  it  had  served  a  good 
purpose  in  thoroughly  arousing  the  military  spirit  of  the  people,  and  its 
beneficial  effects  became  apparent  in  recruiting  under  the  subsequent  call 
for  five  hundred  thousand  men.  The  immense  body,  thus  enrolled  and  par- 
tially drilled,  made  but  one  exhibition  of  its  strength — in  the  grand  parade  of 
July  4th.  It  had  in  the  meantime  been  organized  into  regiments  and  bri- 
gades, of  which  we  have  the  folio wmg  record : '

THE    KESERVE    CORPS. 


In  the  excitement  which  followed  the  call  for  seventy-five  thousand  mili- 
tia, a  sufficient  number  of  organizations  were  set  on  foot  to  have  furnished 
that  number  from  Pennsylvania  alone.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the 
State  quota  was  filled  in  less  than  a  week,  these  organizations — to  the 
number  of  over  forty  in  Allegheny  county  alone — still  held  together,  though 
in  many  instances  at  great  inconvenience  to  the  men  and  cost  to  the  officers. 
Strenuous  efforts  were  made  to  induce  the  State  authorities  to  accept  these 
companies,  and  on  the  27th  of  April  the  Governor  decided  to  form  a  Camp 
at  Pittsburgh.  The  temporary  control  of  the  camp  was  placed  in  the  hands 
of  one  of  the  sub-committees  of  the  Committee  of  Public  Safety.  The  Fair 
Grounds  were  selected  as  a  suitable  site,  and  Camp  Wilkins  organized  with 
Col.  P.  Jarrett,  of  Lock  Haven,  Clinton  county,  Pa.,  as  commandant,  Henry 
A.  Weaver,  Commissray,  and  Sam'l.  P.  M'Kelvy,  Quartermaster.  Twenty- 
six  companies  were  immediately  reported  as  ready  to  go  into  camp,  of 
which  we  have  the  following  list : 

Government  Guards,*  Capt.  Robt.  Anderson  ;  Fayette  Guards,*  Union- 
town,  Capt.  S.  D.  Oliphant;  Chartiers  Valley  Guards,*  Capt.  Charles  Barnes ; 
Pittsburgh  Rifles,*  Capt.  L.  W.  Smith ;  Pennsylvania  Rover  Guards,  Capt.

Great  disappointment  was  created  by  the  announcement,  on  Tuesday, 
that  but  six  Allegheny  county  companies  could  be  accepted  and  provided 
for  in  Camp  Wilkins.  An  impromptu  meeting  of  Captains  was  held  in  the 
Girard  House,  at  which-forty  five  companies  wxre  represented.  A  meeting 
was  held  on  the  following  day,  at  which  a  resolution  to  disband  was  dis-

Thursday,  twenty-eight  companies,  including  a  number  not  previously  men- 
tioned, were  represented,  and  after  some  discussion  two  regiments  were 
formed. 

First  Regiment:    Colonel,  Alexander  Hay;  Lieut.  Col.,  Robt.  Chester; 
Major,  Abijah  Ferguson. 

Second  Regiment :     Col.,   H.  Hultz ;  Lieut.   Col.,  John  S.   McCombs ; 
Major,  James  Barr. 

The  Spang  Infantry,  Captain  Scanlon ;   Union  Artillery,  Capt.  Large ; 
Turtle  Creek  Guards,  Capt.   Kunkle ;    McKeesport  Union  Guards,   Capt. 
Snodgrass,  and  Monongahela  Blues,  Capt.  Blackburn,  were  among  the  new  | 
companies  represented.  ! 

On  Friday  four  additional  companies,  making  ten  from  Allegheny  county,  i 
were  accepted  and  ordered  into  camp.     They  were  the  Anderson  Guards, 
Chartiers  Valley  Guards,  Duncan  Guards,  Allegheny  Rangers,  Iron  City 
Guards,  Garibaldi  Guards,  Anderson  Cadets,  City  Guards,  B.,  Pittsburgh 
Rifles,  and  McKeesport  Union  Guards.*     As  there  had  been  no  provision 
made  as  yet  for  a  reserve  corps  in  the  State,  the  men  were  entitled,  for  the 
time  being,  to  nothing  but  their  rations.     In  the  mean  time  the  Erie  Rai- 
ment, three  months  volunteers,  under  Col.  McLean,  took  up  quarters  in 
Camp  Wilkins,  of  which  Col.  McLean  took  command.     A  special  meeting 
of  the  Legislature,  in  May,  authorized  the  formation  of  a  Reserve  Corps, 
and  provided  for  its  maintenance  until  called  into  the  service  of  the  United 
States.     Troops  were  ordered  into  camp  from  all  of  the  Western  counties 
of  the  State,  until  over  three  thousand  men  thronged  its  confined  limits. 
It  was  soon  discovered  that  the  location  was  poorly  adapted  for  a  camp,  and 
on  May  25th  Gen.  McCall  was  sent  by  the  Governor,  with  a  military  com- 
mission, to  examine  the  surrounding  country  and  select  another  site.     Rapid 
trips  were  made  to  Sewickley,  on  the  P.  F.  W.  and  C.  Railroad,  and  Brad-  | 
dock's  Fields  on  the   Pennsylvania   Central,  and  on  the  2Tth  the  party,  i 
composed  of  Gen.  McCall,  Capt.  Sheets,  U.  S.  A.,  his  Aid,  Quarter-masters  I 
McKelvy  and  Benson,  Commissary  Weaver,  Capt.'s  Duncan,  Dick,  Barnes ' 
and  others^  and  Messrs.  James  Henderson,  James  Gibson  and  Jos.  S.  Lare,  j 
proceeded  to  Hulton,  on  the  Allegheny  Valley  Railroad,  and  examined  the 
ground  thoroughly,  finally  selecting  it  as  a  site  for  the  new  camp,  which 
was  named  Camp   Wright,  in  honor  of  Hon.  John  A.  Wright,  aid  to  the 
Governor.     The  camp  was  laid  out  on  the  28th,  on  a  broad  field  in  the  rear 
of  the  station  buildings  at  Hulton,  the  ground  sloping  up  to  a  steep  emi- 
nence, about  three  hundred  ^^ards  from  the  river.     The  parade  ground  was 
about  one-fourth  of  a  mile  below,  and  fronted  directly  on  the  river.     On  | 
the  30th,  the  first  company — the  Warren  Guards,  afterwards  known  as  the 
"Wild  Cats" — took  up  its  quarters  in  Camp  Wright,  which  was  soon  after 
filled, — by  removals  from  Camp  Wilkins  and  troops  from  other  counties, — 
by  over  four  thousand  men. 

IN    CAMP   AVRIGHT, 

toward  the  close  of  June,  forty  companies  were  collected,  indluding  the 
Erie  regiment,  while  ten  companies  remained  at  Camp  Wilkins.     These

companies  had  nearly  all  recruited  under  the  call  for  three  months  men,  but 

previous  to  their  muster  into  United  States 

service  were  required  to  enlist 

for  three  years.     In  some  companies  a  great  deal  of  dissatisfaction  was  oc-|| 

casioned  by  the  change,  but  all  were  finally 

sworn  into  service  without  the 

i  necessity  of  disbanding.     In  the  beginning 

of  July,  the   State  officers  ap- 

peared  in  Camp  and  organized  the  companies  into  four  regiments,  of  which 

the  Tenth  and  Eleventh  contained  no  Allegheny  county  companies :

ELEVENTH  REGIMENT,  P.  V.  C. 

Colonel :  T.  R.  Gallaher, 
Lieutenant  Colonel :  J.  R.  Porter. 
Major:  S.  M.  Jackson. 

On  July  17th  the  Reserve  regiments  were  supplied  with  arms — altered 
muskets — and  uniforms,  and  on  the  23d  left  for  Washington.  The  entire 
Reserve  corps  was  formed  into  a  division  under  Gen.  M'Call,  and  during 
the  winter  quartered  at  Camp  Pierpont,  a  portion  of  the  division  serving 
with  credit  in  the  battle  of  Drainesville.  In  March  they  were  placed  un- 
der command  of  Gen.  M'Dowell,  in  his  movement  on  Fredericksburg,  and 
in  June  were  transferred  to  the  Peninsula,  in  time  to  participate  in  the  Se- 
ven Days'  Battles.  They  returned  under  M'Clellan  in  time  for  the  battles 
under  Gen.  Pope  before  Washington,  and  were  again  in  service  in  Maryland, 
in  the  battles  of  South  Mountain  and  Antietam.  In  every  action  they  have 
maintained  their  high  reputation,  and  have  earned  their  veteran  stamp  at  a 
terrible  cost  of  life.  Since  entering  the  service  in  July,  1861,  the  Re- 
serves have  been  reduced  from  fifteen  thousand  to  about  six  or  seven  thou- 
sand men.  Gov.  Curtin  has  recently  submitted  a  proposition  to  the  Presi- 
dent- to  bring  home  these,  and  other  veteran  regiments,  by  detachments,  for 
the  purpose  of  recruiting  their  enfeebled  ranks  to  their  former  standard. 

THE  ERIE  REGIMENT, 

one  of  the  finest  bodies  of  men  raised  during  the  war,  was  enlisted  in  Erie 
and  adjoining  counties  under  the  first  call  for  75,000  men.  As  the  compa- 
nies were  enrolled  in  widely  separated  localities,  some  time  elapse'd  before 
the  regiment  was  organized,  and  it  was  then  too  late  for  acceptance  in  the 
State's  quota  of  sixteen  regiments.  Several  of  the  companies  were  en- 
camped for  some  time  in  Erie  county,  but  on  the  organization  of  the  regi- 
ment, so  great  was  the  reluctance  of  the  State  authorities  to  order  its  dis- 
banding, that  it  was  finally  determined  to  retain  it  for  State  service,  and  it 
was  accordingly  ordered  into  camp  at  Pittsburg.  The  regiment  entered 
Camp  Wilkins  on  May  2d,  with  the  following  organization : 

Colonel:  John  W.  M'Lean.*

to  Camp  Wright,  wlien  Col.  George  S.  Hays  assumed  command  of  Camp 
Wilkins.  The  Erie  regiment  was  mainly  uniformed,  the  liberality  of  the 
citizens  of  Erie  supplying  the  means.  The  uniform  was  a  showy  and  hand- 
some one,  and  added  greatly  to  the  military  appearance  of  the  regiment. 
Prior  to  the  transfer  of  the  regiment  to  Camp  Wright,  great  excitement 
was  occasioned  in  the  county  and  along  the  Monongahela  valley,  by  a  rebel 
raid,  supposed  to  threaten  Morgantown,  and  the  regiment,  together  with 
one  or  two  detached  companies  was  ordered  under  arms,  for  the  defence  of 
the  valley.  The  order  was  countermanded  in  a  few  hours,  and  the  com- 
panies relapsed  into  their  accustomed  repose.  It  was  transferred  to  Camp 
Wright,  soon  after  the  opening  of  that  camp,  and  remained  there  for  near- 
ly two  months,  incessantly  annoyed  during  that  time  by  orders  and  coun- 
termands. During  the  "Morgantown  scare"  arms  were  provided  for 
them,  but  not  distributed,  and  the  regiment  was  consequently  never  armed. 
It  was  never  permitted  to  form  a  permanent  organization,  and  at  length 
Col.  M'Lean  applied  directly  to  the  War  Department  for  acceptance.  He 
was  informed  that  his  regiment  would  be  accepted  for  three  years,  if  ready 
to  march  at  once.  On  his  return.  May  13th,  Col.  M'Lean  announced  the 
result  of  his  mission,  on  dress  parade,  and  the  matter  was  taken  into  con- 
sideration by  the  officers.  On  laying  the  proposition  before  the  men,  how- 
ever, a  majority  in  nearly  every  company  refused  to  enter  service  for  three 
years.  Many  had  enlisted  for  three  months  who  could  not  leave  their  bu- 
siness for  a  longer  time,  but  by  far  the  largest  portion  were  thoroughly 
disgusted  by  their  treatment  in  camp.  On  July  19th  the  regiment  was 
paid  off  and  on  the  following  day  set  out  on  its  return  to  Erie,  having 
spent  three  months  in  forced  inaction.  The  regiment,  as  such,  was  never 
re-organized,  but  nearly  all  its  members  re-enlisted  under  the  subsequent 
calls,  Col.  M'Lean  organizing  the  83d  Pa.  vols.  He  was  subsequently  kill- 
ed in  action,  before  Richmond. 

The  Unaccepted  Companies. 

It  has  already  been  stated  that  under  the  three  months'  call  some  forty 
or  fifty  companies  were  raised  in  excess  of  the  county's  quota,  and  that  an 
attempt  was  subsequently  made  to  organize  these  companies  into  indepen- 
dent reserve  regiments.  Under  a  heavy  "outside  pressure"  Gov.  Curtin 
finally  agreed  to  establish  a  camp  at  Pittsburg  and  to  order  six  Allegheny 
county  companies  into  it.  Strenuous  efforts  were  made  by  all  the  captains 
to  secure  quarters  in  camp  for  their  men,  but  out  of  over  forty  applicants 
only  four  were  successful.  Meetings  of  the  captains  were  being  held  daily, 
and  the  selection  of  ten  companies  became  a  theme  of  angry  comment 
among  those  not  selected,  or  as  they  were  afterwards  known,  the  "  Unac- 
cepted Companies."  Committees  were  appointed  to  wait  on  the  Committee 
of  Public  Safety,  on  the  Governor,  and  every  one  in  fact,  to  whom  the  com- 
panies could  look  for  assistance  in  their  difficulties.  The  meetings  were 
not  always  harmonious,  and  utterly  failed  in  advancing  the  cause  for  which 
they  were  held,  becoming  at  length  merely  gatherings  for  the  purpose  of 
venting  contending  views.  The  position  of  many  of  the  officers  was  ex- 
tremely trying.     Some   had   recruited  companies  with  their  own  funds,  at 


22  Military  Record 


the  very  outset  of  the  excitement,  and  had  supported  the  men,  mainly  at 
their  own  expense,  for  several  weeks.  Others  who  had  made  their  appear- 
ance in  the  field  later,  had  recruited  companies  and  been  ordered  into  camp, 
where  they  would  at  least  be  maintained  without  cost  to  the  officers.  This 
fact,  especially,  became  a  subject  of  bitter  comment,  and  charges  of  unfair- 
ness and  partiality  were  freely  bandied  by  the  unsuccessful.  The  selection 
of  the  ten  companies,  as  may  be  supposed,  had  an  extremely  bad  effect  up- 
on the  "unaccepted"  which  gradually  began  to  decline.  It  was  discovered 
at  length  that  no  aid  could  be  obtained  either  from  the  State  authorities  or 
the  community,  and  the  companies  began  gradually  to  disband.  As  already 
noted,  a  portion,  embracing  twenty-four  of  the  companies,  had  been 
organized  into  two  regiments,  and  a  proposition  was  macle  to  the  Commit- 
tee of  Public  Safety  to  maintain  these  organizations,  if  the  community 
would  furnish  the  necessary  supplies  and  shelter  for  the  men,  Linden 
Grove  being  selected  as  a  camping  ground.  The  Committee  declined  to  as- 
sume the  responsibility,  having  no  fund  for  the  purpose,  and  the  organiza- 
tions at  length  yielded  to  inevitable  fate,  and  disbanded.  The  last  meet- 
ing of  the  captains,  of  which  we  have  any  record,  was  held  on  May  22d, 
and  adjourned  to  meet  at  the  call  of  another  committee  appointed  to  wait 
upon  the  Governor.  Whether  this  committee  ever  reported  we  do  not  know, 
but  as  the  companies  were  already  entering  the  organizations  of  other  States, 
it  is  not  probable. 

Had  any  concerted  effort  been  made  at  this  time  by  the  community,  there 
is  no  doubt  that  two  or  three  regiments  might  have  been  maintained  at 
comparatively  trifling  cost,  until  required  under  the  second  requisition  for 
volunteer  troops.  Gov.  Curtin,  although  he  had  recommended  the  forma- 
tion of  a  reserve  corps,  refused  to  sanction  the  formation  of  companies  for 
such  an  organization,  until  forced  to  do  so  by  popular  opinion.  In  New 
York,  on  the  contrary.  Gen.  Sickles'  brigade  was  established,  although  vol- 
unteers came  in  so  slowly  from  the  State  that  companies  from  other  States 
were  willingly  accepted.  Western  Virginia  too,  which  was  just  beginning 
to  assert  its  loyalty,  found  the  mustering  of  the  State  quota  of  volunteers 
extremely  difficult,  and  at  length  established  a  camp  on  AVheeling  Island, 
to  which  volun1?lers  from  all  the  surrounding  States  were  invited. 

In  the  meantime  it  had  become  apparent  that  the  rebellion  could  not  be 
put  down  in  three  months,  nor  by  seventy-five  thousand  men,  and  the  loyal 
community  anxiously  awaited  a  second  call.  Among  the  independent  or- 
ganizations and  unaccepted  companies,  the  subject  of  a  three  years  enlist- 
ment had  already  been  broached,  and  was  generally  concurred  in. 

The  tAvo  independent  regiments  formed  of  the  unaccepted  companies  of 
Allegheny  county  were  pledged  to  three  years'  enlistment,  if  taken  into 
Government  service.  The  inducements  hckl  out  by  Virginia  and  New 
York,  at  length  proved  too  strong  for  the  companies  so  anxiously  awaiting 
employment  at  Pittsburg,  and  men  began  to  leave  by  squads,  and  finally  by 
companies  for  Wheeling. 

On  May  14th  the  first  squad  of  thirty  men  left  for  Camp  Carlile,  on 
Wheeling  Island.     It  was  subsequently  announced  that  all  companies  would 


Of  Allegheny    County.  23 


rendezvous  at  Wellsville,  and  on  Virginia  soil   re-organize  as  Virginia  com- 
panies, by  re-electing  their  officers. 

On  the  9th,  fifty  volunteers  from  different  companies,  some  of  them 
disbanded,  followed  to  Wheeling  and  entered  Virginia  companies.  On  the 
22nd,  the  Spang  Infantry,  Captain  Scanlon,  and  AVoods  Guards,  Captain 
Hays,  left  for  Wheeling,  followed  on  May  2nd  by  the  Jackson  Guards, 
CaptainFlesher.  The  Plummer  Guards,  Captain  John  D.  Owens,  (now  Lieut. 
Col.  139th  Pa.,  Vols.,)  a  company  exclusively  organized  and  uniformed  by 
Jos.  Plummer,  Esq.,  of  this  city,  started  for  Camp  Carlile  on  June  5th, 
in  company  with  the  Anderson  Infantry,  Capt.  Alexander  Scott,  subse- 
quently known  as  the  Belmont  Guards.  The  Firemen  Zouaves  were  organ- 
ized in  Camp  Carlile  on  June  10th,  by  Capt.  Robt.  Gibson.  On  the  6th 
and  7th  of  June,  the  Friend  Rifles,  Capt.  Brunn,  a  company  organized  and 
uniformed  by  Porter  R.  Friend,  Esq.,  and  the  U.  S.  Zouave  Cadets,  Co. 
B.,  under  Captain  John  P.  Glass,  left  for  New  York,  where  they  were  subse- 
quently organized  in  the  Sickel's  Excelsior  Brigade — the  former  as  Co.  A., 
3d  regiment,  and  the  latter  as  Co.  A.,  5th  regiment.  A  few  days  after 
the  arrival  of  the  companies  in  New  York,  two  members  of  the  Zouaves, 
Lieutenants  Ahl  and  W.  W.  Wattles,  returned  and  organized  Co.  C.  of  the 
Cadets,  which  left  for  New  York  on  the  21st  of  June.  Lender  the  auspices 
of  Captain  Brunn,  a  second  company  of  Friend  Rifles  was  also  recruited  | 
in  a  few  days,  and  left  under  command  of  Capt.  Alex.  Hay,  for  New  York, 
on  the  21st,  in  company  with  Co.  C,  of  the  Zouaves.  Some  difficulty  took 
place  on  their  arrival  in  New  York,  and  the  two  companies,  or  the  major 
portion  of  them,  returned  to  Philadelphia,  and  were  organized  in  the  cele- 
brated Geary's  Regiment,  since  claimed  as  a  ''Philadelphia  organization," 
exclusively. 

The  Pittsburgh  Independent  Scouts,  Captain  Anderson,  started  on  the 
20th  of  June  for  Reading,  where  they  were  incorporated  in  a  cavalry  regi- 
ment. 

The  falling  off  of  men  to  join  the  reserve  companies  in  Camp  Wilkins, 
and  those  who  entered  service  in  New  York  and  Virginia  regiments,  so 
reduced  the  unaccepted  companies  which  still  retained  their  organization 
as  to  render  their  disbanding  an  imperative  necessity.  One  of  the  first 
companies  disbanded — the  Pennsylvania  Life  Guards — had  already  cost 
Captain  AYilliams  for  maintenance  §600. 

Circumstances  have  since  shown  what  a  fatal  blunder  was  committed  in 
allowing  these  companies  to  enter  the  service  of  other  States,  without  mak- 
ing any  provision  for  their  recognition  by  the  authorities  of  Pennsylvania. 
Many  hundreds  of  men  left  the  county  in  organized  companies,  and  there 
can  be  no  doubt  that  nearlj^  an  equal  number  left  singly  or  in  small  detach- 
ments and  entered  companies  formed  in  other  States,  thus  leaving  no  trace 
whatever  of  their  military  service.  The  neglect  of  the  county  to  provide 
an  efficient  organization  and  to  furnish  support  to  the  "  Unaccepted  Com- 
panies" has  reduced  the  list  of  troops  furnished,  on  which  it  has  relied  to 
avoid  a  draft,  nearly  three  thousand  men.  A  carefully  prepared  list  of  the 
companies  which  entered  the  service  outside  of  Allegheny  county  regiments

The  Clothing  Fraud. 

No  history  of  the  "three  months'  campaign"  would  be  complete  without 
a  record  of  the  celebrated  "clothing  fraud  case."  It  will  be  remembered 
that  on  the  outbreak  of  the  rebellion  there  was  on  hand  in  the  country  but 
a  small  supply  of  "military  goods,"  such  as  heavy  blue  cloth  for  uniforms, 
blankets  and  shoes.  In  purchasing  supplies  for  the  State  troops  it  became 
necessary,  therefore,  to  adopt  a  difierent  standard  of  goods,  and  in  the  haste 
requisite  to  fit  out  the  quota  of  Pennsylvania  immediately,  the  ordinary  rou- 
tine of  advertising  for  proposals  was  abandoned,  opening  a  wide  field  for 
corruption  and  rascality.  The  troops  had  been  but  a  few  weeks  in  camp, 
after  receiving  their  uniforms  and  equipments  from  the  State,  until  com- 
plaints became  rife  of  the  miserable  quality  of  the  clothing  and  shoes. 
Many  of  the  suits  furnished  were  so  rotten  and  poorly  made  up  that  they 
fell  to  pieces  in  a  few  days,  putting  the  wearers  to  the  most  absurd  shifts 
to  cover  their  nakedness.  Shoes  were  found  to  have  been  constructed  with 
an  "insole"  of  shavings  or  wood,  and  so  slightly  put  together  that  the 
outer  sole  would  part  company  on  the  first  day's  wear.  The  blouses  were 
made  up  of  materials  so  loosely  woven  as  to  resemble  in  some  respects  bolt- 
ing cloth,  and  decidedly  better  fitted  for  sifting  grain  than  protecting  the 
wearers  from  the  inclemency  of  the  weather.  The  material  used  used  for 
this  clothing  was  that  generally  known  in  trade  as  shoddy,  a  stufi*  made  up 
by  machinery  from  old  woolen  cloth.  On  May  21st,  the  first  exposition  of 
the  frauds  connected  with  these  clothing  contracts  appeared  in  the  Phila- 
delphia Inquirer.  A  bill  for  $22,585  had  been  presented  by  Frowenfield  & 
Bros.,  of  Pittsburg,  who  had  obtained  a  contract  for  a  large  number  of 
uniforms  through  an  individual  named  Charles  M.  Neal,  an  "  Agent "  for 
the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  and  on  whose  endorsement  the  bill  was  "  pass- 
ed."    The  bill  read  as  follows : 

2,085  uniforms  at  $10,  .  -  .  .  $20,850 

347  pairs  of  pantaloons  at  $5,  .  .  _  1,735 


$22,585 

The  "  uniforms  "  spoken  of  included,  it  is  supposed,  a  coat  or  "blouse" 
and  pantaloons,  though  the  separate  charge  throws  some  doubt  on  the  last 
item.  Subsequent  inquiry  has  utterly  failed  to  show  by  what  autliority 
Mr.  Neal  acted  in  this  matter,  as  Gov.  Curtin  entirely  repudiated  any 
"agencies"  save  those  legitimately  appointed — Quartermaster  General  Hale 
and  Commissary  General  Irvin.  The  quality  of  the  goods  for  which  these 
enormous  charges  were  made,  and  the  relation  of  ]Mr.  Neal  to  the  contract 
were  afterwards  fully  shown  by  legal  investigation. 

Wc  have  already  noticed  the  operations  of  the  Executive  Committee  of 
the  Committee  of  Public  Safety,  and  soon  after  this  statement  was  publish- 
ed, an  investigation  was  commenced  by  the  Committee.  On  Tuesday,  May 
28th,  M.  Swartzwelder,  Esq.,  at  a  meeting  of  the  committee  offered  a  pre- 


Of  Allegheny    County,  25 


amble  and  resolutions,  alluding  to  the  charges  of  fraud  in  general  circula- 
tion, and  providing  for  the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  investigate  the 
charges.  The  resolutions  were  adopted,  and  the  following  committee  ap- 
pointed :  M.  Swartzwelder,  Esq.,  Thos.  Bakewell,  Esq.,  Hon.  Wm.  F. 
Johnston,  and  Wm.  M.  Shinn,  Esq. 

This  committee  addressed  a  note  to  the  Messrs.  Frowenfeld  inviting  their 
attendance  at  the  examination,  on  Wednesday,  May  29th,  but  as  neither  of 
them  appeared,  the  committee  sent  a  second  note  by  Mr.  Riddle,  one  of  the 
Mayor's  police.  To  this  note  an  insolent  reply  was  returned,  that  the  par- 
ties accused  would  have  nothing  to  say,  and  an  mtimation  that  the  bearer 
of  the  note  would  be  shown  the  door.  Messrs.  Frowenfeld  had  a  few  days 
before  published  a  note  in  relation  to  the  charges  made  against  them,  and 
requested  a  public  investigation ;  as  they  now  refused  to  appear,  the  Com- 
mittee proceeded  without  them.  They  examined  but  five  witnesses,  on 
whose  statements  the  matter  was  brought  before  the  Grand  Jury  on  Tues- 
day, June  4th.  M.  Swartzwelder,  Esq.  and  Thos.  Williams,  Esq.,  were  re- 
tained as  prosecuting  counsel. 

The  Court  met  on  June  3d,  and  the  Grand  Jury  organized,  after  an  able 
charge  from  Judge  M'Clure,  in  which  the  rascality  of  contractors  was  se- 
verely commented  on,  and  the  jury  charged  to  regard  the  furnishing  of 
improper  food  or  rotten  clothes  as  giving  aid  and  comfort  to  the  enemy. 
On  Monday,  June  25th,  Mr.  Marshall,  counsel  for  the  Frowenfeld's,  moved 
for  a  continuance  of  the  case  until  the  next  term  of  Court.  Messrs.  Thos. 
Williams,  M.  Swartzwelder  and  J,  H.  Miller  appeared  for  the  Common- 
wealth, and  Hon.  Chas.  Shaler,  Thos.  M.  Marshall,  F.  H.  Collier;  S.  W. 
Black,  J.  M.  Kirkpatrick,  Jno.  Mellon,  and  John  Coyle,  Esqs.,  for  the  de- 
fence. The  case  was  argued  on  the  same  day,  on  the  ground  that  Alfred 
Slade,  J.  N.  Shannon  and  Jos.  Lee,  material  witnesses  for  the  defendants, 
were  absent.  The  Court  withheld  a  decision  until  the  Monday  following, 
when,  the  docket  having  been  meantime  cleared,  the  case  was  taken  up, 
and  two  of  the  "necessary  witnesses  "  were  brought  into  Court.  The  third 
proved  to  be  of  no  im^portance,  Neal's  bail  had  been  forfeited,  but  was 
now  renewed  by  his  counsel,  Mr.  Brewster,  of  Philadelphia.  To  the  intense 
surprise  of  the  community,  the  case  was  here  closed  by  a  certiorari  to  the 
Supreme.  Court,  and  an  allocatur  from  Judge  Lowrie,  the  defendants  hav- 
ing sworn  that  the  President  Judge  was  so  f;ir  prejudiced  against  them  that 
they  could  not  obtain  justice.  Such  a  grave  impeachment  of  the  venera- 
able  and  upright  Judge  of  the  Quarter  Sessions  Court  as  was  contained  in 
this  affidavit,  should  never  have  obtained  credence  from  the  Supreme  Court,  . 
and  the  surprise  of  the  prosecuting  attorneys  may  well  be  pardoned.  A 
rule  to  show  cause  why  the  certiorari  should  not  be  rescinded  was  argued 
before  the  Supreme  Court  on  July  2nd,  and  the  case  was  regularly  trans- 
ferred to  the  Supreme  Court,  and  a  hearing  fixed  for  the  first  Monday  in 
September.  At  this  time  a  continuance  was  asked  by  the  Commonwealth, 
Sylvester  W.  Murphy,  a  clerk  of  the  Frowenfeld's,  and  a  very  important 
witness,  inasmuch  as  the  prosecution  was  in  a  great  measure  based  on  his 
testimony  before  the  Grand  Jury,  being  absent.  The  case  was  continued  til 
the  18th  inst.     On  that  date.  Murphy  being  still  absent,  a  nolle  pros  was  enter- 


26  Military  Record 


ed,  with  the  intention  of  entering  a  new  bill  on  the  re-appearance  of  the  wit- 
ness. Murphy  was  subsequently  arrested  in  Philadelphia,  on  his  return  from 
his  trip  to  Europe,  but  this  extraordinary  case  was  never  tried,  although 
the  fact  that  the  suits  were  not  worth  half  the  money  charged  was  well 
substantiated.     Their  estimated  cost  was  $7,00;  actual  value  for  wear  $00. 


THE  SECOND  REQUISITION. 


FIVE  HUNDRED  THOUSAND  VOLUNTEERS 


One  of  the  most  important  acts  of  the  special  session  of  Congress  called 
by  Mr.  Lincoln,  was  to  authorize  the  President  to  accept  the  services  of 
500,000  A^olunteers  for  three  years.  Under  this  act,  arrangements  were 
made  at  once  for  re-organizing  the  three  months'  regiments  then  in  the 
field.  Unfortunately,  the  experience  of  the  Pennsylvania  troops  had  not 
been  such  as  to  induce  them  to  favor  the  project.  Many  were  utterly  dis- 
gusted with  the  organization  of  their  companies  and  regiments,  scores  of 
men  holding  commissions  as  field  and  line  officers  who  were  wdiolly  unfit  for 
the  positions  they  occupied.  Many  were  so  dissipated  that  during  the  en- 
tire campaign  their  commands  derived  no  benefit  whatever  from  their  in- 
structions. Others  were  dissatisfied  "with  the  treatment  they  had  received 
at  the  hands  of  the  State  authorities.  Towards  the  close  of  their  term  of 
service,  the  general  management  of  the  State  quota  was  greatly  improved, 
but  the  rotten  clothes,  and  still  worse,  the  rotten  food,  supplied  at-  the  out- 
set of  the  campaign,  were  still  fresh  in  the  memories  of  the  outraged  troops. 
The  principal  objection,  however,  originated  no  doubt  in  the  utterly  idle 
and  unprofitable  character  of  the  campaign  just  closing.  For  nearly  three 
months,  the  men  had  lain  idly  in  camps  or  had  been  fruitlessly  marched  and 
countermarched  until  completely  worn  down.  AVe  have  already  given  in 
detail  the  campaign  of  the  four  regiments  in  which  the  Allegheny  compa- 
nies were  organized,  and  an  ample  illustration  of  all  of  these  causes  of  com- 
plaint will  be  found  in  this  brief  sketch. 

As  we  have  already  noted,  the  troops  composing  the  Allegheny  county 
quota  reached  home  on  the  29th  of  July,  and  1st  of  August,  scattered  de- 
tachment detachments  having  arrived  during  the  previous  week.  The  re- 
s'erve  regiments  had  been  sent  to  Washington  a  few  days  previous,  but  the 
city  was  by  no  means  cleared  of  military. 


Of  Allegheny  County,  27 


On  the  29th,  a  camp  for  regular  cavaby  was  established  at  Linden  Grove, 
under  Colonel  Emory,  and  several  of  the  unaccepted  companies  which  had 
maintained  their  organization  were  pressing  forward. 

On  the  arrival  of  the  disbanded  three  months  men,  recruiting  oflSces  were 
at  once  established,  and  after  a  few  days  of  comparative  quiet,  recruiting 
proceeded  almost  as  briskly  as  in  the  earlier  days  of  the  war  excitement, 
although  men  were  already  beginning  to  thoroughly  comprehend  the  trials 
of  the  service  and  the  magnitude  of  the  task  before  the  Government. 

On  the  25th  of  July,  Gen.  Geo.  B.  M'Cleilan — who  up  till  a  few  days 
previous  had  held  a  comparatively  unimportant  command  in  Western  Vir- 
ginia, and  had  been  called  to  Washington  to  assume  the  task  of  reorganiz- 
ing the  army- — passed  through  the  city.  He  was  received  at  the  Allegheny 
Station  by  an  immense  crowd,  and  was  e&oorted  to  the  Monongahela  House 
by  the  Twin  City  Rangers,  Capt.  Geo.  Thompson,  and  Allegheny  Greys, 
Capt.  Boisel.  Nearly  all  the  Home  Guard  companies  in  the  two  cities  were 
in  the  line  of  procession,  which  was  closed  by  the  companies  composing  the 
Fire  Department.  The  Fort  Pitt  battery,  divided  into  two  sections  and  sta- 
tioned on  Cliii  street  and  Seminary  Hill,  fired  a  Major  General's  salute  on  his 
arrival.  At  the  Monongahela  House  he  was  welcomed  by  Judge  Shannon, 
and  replied  briefly.  Col.  Saml.  YL  Black,  who  had  returned  a  short  time 
previous  from  Nebraska,  of  which  territory  he  had  been  Governor,  also 
made  an  eloquent  address,  closing  the  ceremonies  of  one  of  the  most  bril- 
liant and  enthusiastic  receptions  ever  given  by  the  city. 

On  the  23d  inst.  an  immense  mass  meeting  was  held  in  City  Hall,  in  ref- 
erence to  the  proposed  increase  of  the  army.  S.  F.  Von  Bonnhorst,  Esq., 
was  called  to  the  chair,  and  Thomas  P.  Bakewell  and  Bev.  John  Douglass 
were  appointed  Vice  Presidents.  Resolutions  were  adopted  urging  the  col- 
lection of  funds  to  aid  in  filling  up  the  companies  recruiting,  and  to  provide 
for  the  families  of  volunteers,  and  the  follovfing  gentlemen  appointed  on  the 
Committee:  Hon.  T.  M.  Howe,  H.  M'Cullough,  Esq.,  Dr.  J.  Carothers, 
Vfm.  Thaw,  Esq.,  John  Scott,  Esq.,  and  Alexander  Nimick,  Esq.  The 
Committee  set  actively  about  the  duties  entrusted  to  them,  and  on  the  fol- 
lowing week  the  recruiting  of  a  regiment,  to  be  under  command  of  Col.  Oli- 
ver H.  RijDpey  was  commenced.  A  regiment  was  already  partially  recruit- 
ed for  Col.  Samuel  W.  Black,  and  Col.  Rowley,  of  the  13th  P.  V.,  began 
the  reorganization  of  that  regiment,  Lieuts.  Foster  and  MTlwaihe  recruit- 
ing companies.  On  Saturday,  August  3rd,  the  first  three  years  regiment 
left  for  Washington  under  Col.  Black.     It  has  since  been  known  as  the

Union  "  ''      Robt.  H.  Patterson. 

These  companies,  from  WasMngton  City,  were  transferred  to  Lamon's 
brigade  at  AYilliamsport.  Hampton's  battery  was  subsequently  added  to  the 
brigade.  Men  were  enlisted  in  the  county  for  the  regular  service,  in  cavalry ! 
and  infantry  companies,  and  as  marines  for  the  navy,  or  for  gun-boat  ser-  j 
vice.  Many  Germans  were  enlisted  for  "German  regiments,"  who  were; 
afterwards  mustered  into  regiments  raised  in  the  eastern  counties,  or  in  | 
other  States.  Of  those  who  entered  service  in  Virginia,  we  have  the  record  I 
of  but  five  companies ;  of  those  who  entered  New  York  service,  but  two  i 
companies ;  of  those  who  joined  Geary's  regiment,  of  four  companies.  | 
The  cavalry  companies  organized  in  this  county  were  generally  mustered 
into  service  in  regiments  made  up  from  all  parts  of  the  State,  but  numbers 
joined  regiments  of  other  States,  as  those  of  Sahl,  now  E;edpath,  and  Pat- 
terson, now  Stewart,  which  form  part  of  the  First  Maryland  Cavalry  regi- 
ment. It  would  probably  be  below  the  mark  to  say,  that  in  addition  to  the 
558  men  reported  as  having  enlisted  from  the  county,  in  outside  organiza- 
tions, nearly  two  thousand  have  gone  of  whom  we  have  no  trace.  The 
companies  sent  from  the  counties  were  not  in  any  case,  save  the  6 2d, 
organized  into  regiments  before  leaving,  though  a  tacit  understanding  exist- 
ed in  some  instances,  as  in  the  61st  and  102d,  ("old  13th.")  The  compa- 
nies of  Capts.  Ahl,  Ball,  Copeland  and  Meyers  were  early  consolidated 
with  Geary's  regiment,  and  participated  in  its  entire  campaign.  It  lay  for 
some  months  at  Point  of  Rocks  and  Harpers'  Ferry,  during  which  time  it 
drove  the  rebels  from  Bolivar  Heights.  During  the  first  campaign  in  the 
Valley  of  Virginia,  it  participated,  with  Knapp's  battery.  In  the  second 
advance  from  Harpers'  Ferry  it  took  part  in  the  battle  of  Cedar  Mountain, 
and  in  the  subsequent  battles  under  General  Pope.  On  the  re-organization 
of  the  army,  it  took  part  in  the  brief  Maryland  campaign.  The  companies 
in  the  1st  and  2d  Virginia  regiments,  and  those  in  Blenker's  division  parti- 
cipated in  the  entire  campaigns  of  1861  and  '62  in  Western  Va.,  skirmishing, 
guarding  railroads,  marching  and  countermarching,  and  spent  the  winter, 
partially  quartered  and  poorly  supplied,  on  the  mountain  ranges.  In  the 
spring  of  '62  they  crossed  the  mountains  and  joined  the  corps  under  Fre- 
mont. The  main  body  of  the  troops  enlisted  here,  however,  spent  the  win- 
ter in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  surrounding  Washington.  Company's  A, 
Capt.  Foster,  and  D,  Capt.  Enright,  were  detached  from  the  102d  (old 
13th)  regiment,  on  picket  duty,  under  command  of  Capt.  Foster,  and  lay 
for  some  months  at  Great  Falls,  Md.,  guarding  the  Chesapeake  and  Ohio 
Canal.  During  their  occupation  of  "  Cantonment  Rowley,"  a  paper  was 
published  regularly  by  the  "Dispatch  Mess,"  being  a  continuation  of  the 
paper  published  by  the  "old  13th"  at  Williamsport. 

In  Llarch,  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  commenced  its  advance  on  Rich- 
mond, in  which  the  61st,  62d,  63d,  101st  and  102d  (old  13th)  regiments 
participated.  Several  other  regiments  embracing  Allegheny  County 
companies  took  part  in  the   campaign,  from  the  taking  of  Yorktown  until

the  siege  of  Richmond,  the  Reserve  regiments  joining  the  army  just  before 
the  bloody  seven  days'  battles.  After  the  removal  of  the  army  from  the  Pen- 
insula to  Fredericksburg,  the  Allegheny  troops  were  engaged  in  one  or  oth- 
er of  the  actions  during  Pope's  retreat  to  Washington.  They  were  subse- 
quently re-organized  under  M'Clellan,  and  participated  with  honor  in  the 
battles  of  South  Mountain  and  Antietam.  One  company  of  Allegheny 
volunteers,  under  Capt.  Thos.  E.  Rose,  was  organized  as  a  portion  of  the 
77th  regiment,  Col.  Stambaugh,  and  embarked  for  Kentucky  under  Gen* 
Negley.  They  took  part  in  the  campaign  of  last  Spring  and  Summer, 
were  in  the  battle  of  Pittsburg  Landing  and  at  the  siege  of  Corinth.  They 
are  now  in  the  force  operating  under  Gen.  Buell.  The  Anderson  cavalry, 
made  up  of  representatives  from  all  parts  of  the  State,  and  one  of  the  finest 
bodies  organized  in  Pennsylvania,  also  participated  in  the  Kentucky  cam- 
paign as  Buell's  body  guard,  and  in  other  special  service.  The  names  of 
those  enlisted  here  for  the  original  Troop  were  :  Sergt.  Frank  B.  Ward,(now 
Major  in  regiment;)  Corporal  Wm.  T.  M'Clure;  Privates  "VYm.  Strain, 
Robert  Henderson,  James  C.  Sproul,  Henry  J.  Toudy,  Walter  F.  Austin, 
John  S.  Murray,  John  E.  Skillen.  The  Troop  has  recently  been  increased 
to  a  full  regiment. 

A  full  record  of  the  casualties  during  this  bloody  campaign  will  not  be 
made  until  the  information  is  officially  given  by  a  publication  of  the  army 
rolls.  We  find  published  the  following  names  of  commissioned  officers  lost 
in  battle  or  by  sickness ;  of  the  long  list  of  privates  and  non-commissioned 
officers  carried  off  by  disease  or  the  chances  of  battle,  our  space  would  pre- 
clude the  publication,  even  could  the  information  be  procured.

Eecruiting  Service. 

Capt.  J.  Heron  Foster  and  Lieut.  W.  B.  Kennej,  Sergts.  Wilkinson  and  P.  P.  Baer,  and  A. 
P.  Cullow,  of  the  102d  (Col.  Rowley's)  regiment,  were  jietailed  on  recruiting  service  in 
January,  1862,  opening  offices  on  the  1st  of  February — Capt.  Foster,  on  Fifth  street,  Pitts- 
burg, and  Lieut.  Kenney,  on  Federal  street,  Allegheny.  There  were  enlisted  from  Feb.  1st 
to  April  10th,  one  hundred  and  fifty-five  recruits,  which  were  distributed  amongst  twenty- 
seven  Penua.  regiments.  More  than  one-half  of  the  recruits  were  obtained  by  Capt.  Foster 
and  Lieut.  Kenney,  although  all  the  men  enlisting  with  them  did  not  join  the  102d. 

The  second  detachment  of  recruiting  officers  arrived  in  August,  and  are  yei  in  the  city. 
Capt.  E.  S.  Wright,  of  the  62d,  one  of  the  number,  was  appointed  provost  marshal,  and  is 
acting  in  that  capacity  at  the  present  date,  having  his  office  in  Lyon's  building,  5th  street, 
removing  thence  from  67  Fourth  street. 

Eelief  Committee. 

Soon  after  active  recruiting  commenced,  in  April,  1861,  a  number  of  prominent  citizens 
called  upon  Gen.  Negley  and  authorized  him  to  publish  the  statement  that  the  families  of 
volunteers  would  be  provided  for  in  their  absence,  by  the  community.  In  pursuance  of  this 
pledge,  meetings  were  held  in  Pittsburg  and  Allegheny,  and  under  the  auspices  of  the  Fi- 
nance Committee,  of  the  Committee  of  Public  Safety,  collections  commenced,  and  rooms 
were  opened  for  the  transaction  of  business.  On  the  15th  of  June  the  Committee  was  dis- 
tributing relief  to  570  families,  and  the  number  was  considerably  increased  after  that  date. 
Besides  providing  for  these  families,  the  Committee,  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the 
banks,  which  subscribed  $3000  to  the  fund,  purchased  1800  percussion  muskets.  Many 
subscriptions  of  large  sums  were  made  by  indi-viduals  and  corporations,  but  our  limits  for- 
bid a  publication  in  detail.  Sub-committees  for  collection  were  appointed  in  all  the  wards, 
boroughs  and  townships,  and  to  these  committees  was  entrusted  the  duty  of  hearing  and 
determining  upon  applications  for  relief.  Many  of  the  precincts  returned  comparatively 
small  sums,  although  their  subsequent  claims  for  relief  were  large.  We  give  below  the 
names  of  collectors  and  sums  collected  in  twenty-nine  districts.  In  the  remaining  districts 
!  the  sums  reported  by  collectors  were  small.  The  total  amount  coUscted,  in  cash,  dry  goods, 
groceries,  etc.  was  $24,251  90,  which  was  disbursed  during  the  Summer.  In  cash  $18,500, 
was  distributed  and  in  dry  goods,  etc.  $2,200. 

In  the  Autumn,  the  fund  having  been  exhausted,  the  Relief  Committee  was  organized  as 
i  required  by  Legislature,  and  the  county  assumed  the  distribution  of  relief.     The  Coramis- 
I  siouers,   wlio  had  levied  a  two-mill  tax  and  appointed    collectors,  subsequently  revoked  the 
1  appointments,  recalled  the  books  and  borrowed  the  requisite  funds.     In  order  to  meet  press- 
ing claims  for  relief,  the  two-mill  tax  not  being  paid  into  the  Treasury  for  some  time,  $26,- 
&01  were  paid  out  of  the  funds  in  the  Treasury.     For  the  year  1861   the  sum  assessed  was 
$55,775.    Under  the  Relief  act  sub-committees  were  appointed  for  each  ward,  borough  and  \ 
\  township,  by  whom  the  relief  claims  were  examined  and  reported,  and  the  relief  funds  paid 
i  OBt.     The   first  relief  rolls  were  presented  in  September,  ISGl.     The  tax  assessed  in    1862 
[was  $54,927.     The  sum  collected  was  exhausted  in  the  first  seven  months  of  the  year,  and 
^  the  last  relief  wag  paid  out  in  August.     The  exact  amount  paid  by  the  county  is  not  known, 
as  the  accounts  are  not  yet  audited.

THE  THIRD  REQUISITION, 


HISTORY   OF  THE    DR^FT. 


The  tliird  requisition,  for  three  hundred  thousand  men,  and  the  draft 
ordered  for  an  equal  number,  may  be  treated  as  a  single  event,  as  but  few- 
volunteers  were  secured  until  after  the  second  order  was  issued.  In  several 
states  the  orders  were  considered  as  a  call  for  six  hundred  thousand  men, 
and  apportioned  among  the  districts  as  a  single  quota.  In  Pennsylvania 
the  recruiting  of  the  quota  has  been  so  mismanaged  that  no  definite  policy 
can  be  said  to  have  been  pursued  relative  to  it.  It  is  quite  probable  that 
the  governors  were  notified  on  the  issuing  of  the  third  requisition  that  an 
order  for  a  draft  would  follow,  but  no  public  or  official  notice  to  that  effect 
was  given,  although  rumors  of  a  draft  proceeded  the  publication  of  the  order 
several  days. 

On  the  28th  of  June,  a  letter  was  addressed  to  the  President  by  the  Gov- 
ernors of  the  loyal  States,    requesting  him  to  take  measures  for  an  immedi- 1 
ate  increase  of  the  army.     In  pursuance  of  this  request,  the  President,  on 
the  1st  of  July,  issued  his  third  requisition,  calling  upon  the  loyal  States  to 
furnish  three  hundred  thousand  volunteers.     In  some  of  the  States  immedi- 


Of  Allegheny   County,  35 


ate  steps  were  taken  for  recruiting  the  quota  required,  but  in  Pennsylvania 
the  volunteer  movements  were  proceeding  very  leisurely  on  the  21st,  when 
the  Governor  issued  his  proclamation,  calling  for  twenty-one  regiments  of 
volunteers  in  the  State.  He  had  in  the  interim  secured  an  order  for  the  ac- 
ceptance of  nine  months,  instead  of"  three  years  volunteers,  and  of  recruits 
for  the  old  regiments  for  twelve  months.  Congress  at  its  previous  session 
had  fixed  a  bounty  for  volunteers  of  one  hundred  dollars,  one-fourth  to  be 
paid  at  the  time  of  enlistment  and  the  balance  at  the  close.  It  had  also  sanc- 
tioned the  payment  of  one  months'  pay  in  advance,  making  an  enlistment 
bounty  of  thirty-eight  dollars.  In  several  States  the  Governors,  in  order  to 
hasten  enlistments,  had  added  to  this  a  State  bounty  of  fifty  dollars  or 
more ;  but  in  issuing  his  proclamation  Governor  Curtin  announced  that  no 
bounty  would  be  paid  by  the  State.  The  quota  of  Allegheny  county  by 
this  proclamation  was  fixed  at  fifteen  companies  of  nine  months'  men.  Im- 
mediate measures  were  taken  throughout  the  State  to  hasten  recruiting,  and 
on  July  25th,  in  pursuance  of  previous  notice,  an  immense  mass  meeting 
was  held  on  the  West  Commons,  in  Allegheny  City.  At  least  fifteen  thou- 
sand people  were  assembled  and  the  utmost  enthusiasm  prevailed. 

Four  stands  had  been  erected  on  difi'erent  portions  of  the  Common  for 
the  convenience  of  the  crowd,  and  at  one  o'clock  the  meeting  was  organized,  at 
the  main  stand,  by  the  Committee  of  Arrangements,  and  the  following  list 
of  officers  announced : 

Stand  No.  1.  Hon.  Wm.  Wilkins,  President,  assisted  by  a  great  num- 
ber of  Vice  Presidents ;  Robt.  Finney,  J.  R.  Hunter,  S.  Harper,  E.  A. 
Montooth,  Wm.  B.  Negley,  W.  C.  Moreland,  Thos.  M.  Bayne,  and  H.  E. 
Davis,  Secretaries. 

Stand  No.  2.  Gen.  Wm.  Robinson,  jr.,  President,  assisted  by  Simon 
Drum,  John  Morrison,  C.  T.  Ihmsen,  J.  M'D.  Crossan,  and  Thos.  M'Kee, 
Vice  Presidents. 

'Stand  No.   3.  Thomas  Bakewell,  Esq.,   President,   assisted  by  B.   C.  | 
Sawyer,  G.  L.  B.  Fetterman,  John  Birmingham,  J.  Sampson,  and  B.  A. 
Mevay,  Vice  Presidents. 

German  Stand,  G.  G.  Backofen,  President,  assisted  by  N.  Voeghtly, 
Francis  Felix,  Major  D.  Fickeisen,  Dr.  A.  H.  Gross  and  A.  Holstein,  Vice 
Presidents. 

Proceedings  opened  with  prayer  by  Rev.  Dr.  Howard.  Hon.  P.  C. 
Shannon  then  introduced  Judge  Wilkins  who  read  a  stirring  address.  Gov. 
Curtin,  who  was  present  on  the  stand,  followed  in  an  able  but  brief  speech, 
at  the  close  of  which  a  series  of  resolutions  were  read  and  adopted. 

The  resolutions  set  forth  the  duty  of  loyal  men  to  rise  to  the  support  of 
the  Union  in  its  hour  of  peril ;  the  determination  of  Pennsylvania  never  to 
retire  from  the  contest  until  the  rebellion  was  crushed  ;  calling  on  the  au- 
thorities for  an  energetic  employment  of  every  means  in  their  power  to  re- 
establish the  authority  of  the  Constitution  ;  that  the  gratitude  of  the  peo- 
ple of  the  State  was  due  to  Gov.  Curtin  for  his  labors  in  support  of  the 
Government ;  that  a  subscription  be  raised  for  a  $50  bounty  to  volunteers ; 
and  that  citizens  of  the  county  be  earnestly  requested  to  call  meetings  for  , 
the  encouragement  of  recruiting.     The  tenth  resolution  provided  that  to ' 


36  Military/  Record 


raise  the  necessary  funds  for  paying  the  bounty  and  assisting  in  preparing 
troops  for  the  field,  the  following  Committee  should  be  appointed  to  collect

The  impulse  given  to  recruiting  by  this  meeting  was  quite  marked. 
Companies  for  nine  months  and  for  the  war  were  immediately  set  on  foot 
in  both  cities.  On  the  28th  an  order  was  issued  revoking  the  permission 
given  Governor  Curtin  to  recruit  nine  months  regiments,  on  the  ground  that 
the  time  of  service  was  too  short  to  be  effective,  and  that,  as  a  similar 
privilege  could  not  be  extended  to  all  the  states,  the  discrimination  would 
justly  provoke  complaint.  The  mustering  officer  was  instructed  to  continue 
mustering  in  nine  months'  men  until  August  10th,  and  on  that  date  the 
time  was  extended,  to  permit  regiments  already  formed  to  recruit  to  the 
regular  standard,  until  the  23d  inst.  In  the  interval  thus  allowed  a  suffici- 
ent number  of  companies  were  organized  in  Allegheny  county  to  fill  its 
quota  under  the  first  call.  At  the  same  time  the  recruiting  of  three  years' 
men  was  rapidly  progressing.  In  Allegheny  city  an  impetus  was  given  to 
the  nine  months'  enlistments  by  the  organization  of  the  "  Clark  Infmtry,'/ 
a  company  under  Rev.  J.  B.  Clark,  a  clergyman  of  the  2nd  United  Presby- 
terian Church,  in  that  city.  Scores  of  men  whose  dread  of  the  irreligious 
surroundings  of  the  soldier  had  deterred  them  from  enlisting,  rushed  to  his 
standard,  and  his  company  was  soon  filled  to  overflowing.  A  second,  third 
and  fourth — one  under  command  of  the  Mayor  of  the  city,  Simon  Drum, 
Esq. — were  organized  in  a  few  days,  and  on  the  date  fixed  by  the  Govern- 
ment a  regiment  was  organized,  of  which  Captain  Clark  was  elected  Colo- 
nel. Three  years  companies  were  also  being  organized,  and  under  the 
auspices  of  William  M.  Semple,  of  Allegheny,  the  Semple  Infantry  was  or- 
ganized by  William  H.  Moody,  a  similar  "rush  "  resulting  in  the  formation 
of  four  companies.  We  may  here  remark  that  no  man  in  the  community 
has  displayed  a  more  genuine  spirit  of  liberality  than  Mr.  Semple,  who  in 
donations  to  the  companies  bearing  his  name  and  in  other  forms  has  ex- 
pended nearly  $3000  towards  the  formation  and  equipment  of  the  139th 
regiment.  Edward  J.  Allen,  well  known  as  the  author  of  the  "Oregon 
Trail,"  which  appeared  in  the  Daily  Dispatch  some  years  ago,  also  set 
about  the  organization  of  an  Engineer  regiment,  which  was  subsequently, 
we  believe,  nuistered  into  service  as  Infantry.  The  organization  of  these 
regiments  will  be  given  below  :

The  123d  regiment  left  for  Harrisburg  on  the  20th  day  of  August,  and 
was  followed  on  the  succeeding  day  by  the  companies  subsequently  organ- 
ed  into  the  136th.  The  139th  left  September  1st,  and  some  days  after,  the 
155th  followed  it.  During  this  period  two  heavy  artillery  companies,  the 
Pittsburgh  Artillery,  Capt.  Young,  and  Staunton  Artillery,  Capt.  George 
W.  Henderson,  were  recruited  and  left  for  Fort  Delaware,  Delaware  river. 
A  battalion  for  the  Anderson  troop  was  recruited  and  forwarded  to  Carlisle, 
in  this  month,  by  Sergeant,  now  Major  Frank  B.  Ward.  Detachments 
were  also  recruited  for  Hampton's,  Knap's,  Daum's  and  other  battalions  in 
the  field.  These  regiments  had  been  but  a  few  days  in  the  field  when  the 
rebel  raid  into  Maryland  took  place,  threatening  the  safety  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania border.  Fifty  thousand  militia  were  instantly  called  out  by  the 
Governor,  and  in  less  than  a  week  a  far  larger  number  had  assembled  at 
Harrisburg.  An  immense  war  meeting  was  held  at  the  Court  House  on 
September  6th,  and  measures  were  adopted  for  a  rapid  organization  of  the 
militia.  Companies  were  hastily  organized  in  Allegheny  county,  and  on 
September  16th,  1066  men,  principally  from  Allegheny,  left  for  Harrisburg. 
A  regiment  had  been  organized,  of  which  Robert  Galway  was  Colonel, 
James  M.  Cooper,  Lieutenant  Colonel,  and  A.  H.  Gross,  Major.  Compa- 
nies continued  to  rush  Eastward  during  the  ensuing  week,  from  all  the 
Western  counties,  until  nearly  two  regiments  had  left  Alleghen}^  county 
alone.  Fortunately  their  services  were  not  required,  and  after  a  rapid 
march  toward  the  State  Line  and  return  to  Harrisburg,  the  companies  were 
dismissed.     They  will  assist,  however,  in  maintaining  an  organization. 

Permission  having  been  given  by  the  War  Department  to  recruit  a  cav- 
alry regiment,  and  a  regiment  of  Infantry  in  Allegheny  county,  the  "  Cor- 
coran Regiment  "  was  set  on  foot,  as  announced,  for  service  under  General 
Corcoran.  It  proved  unsuccessful,  however,  and  the  men  recruited  were 
subsequently  added  to  other  organizations,  a  company  under  Capt.  Powers 
joining  the  101st  regiment.  Colonel  Morris.  The  Stanton  Cavalry,  Col. 
Schoonmaker,  is  still  at  Camp  Howe,  (formed  for  troops  under  the  Third 
Requisition,  at  Linden  Grove.)  The  men  have  been  equipped,  and  will 
soon  be  ready  to  march.  A  regiment  under  Colonel  Stockton  is  also  filling 
rapidly. 

On  the  1st  of  August,  the  long  anticipated  order  for  a  draft  was  pub- 
lished. The  State  authorities  had  already  called  upon  the  County  Com- 
missioners for  a  statement  of  the  number  of  militia  in  the  county 
subject  to  draft,  but  on  this  subject  no  accurate  record  had  been  kept, 
and  in  reply,  the  commissioners  forwarded  a  statement  compiled  from 
the  report  of  the  County  Assessors,  giving  the  number  of  persons  liable  to 
military  duty  in  the  county  as  12,359.  Subsequently  the  commissioners 
determined  to  order  a  regular  enrolment  of  the  County,  which  was  accord- 


Of  Allegheny  County,  39 


inglj  made.  There  was  much  discussion  as  to  the  regulations  which  should 
govern  the  enrolment,  but  we  believe  the  state  laws  were  followed  by  the 
assessors,  who  returned  the  number  of  militia  liable  to  duty. 

At  its  session  of  1861-62,  Congress  passed  an  act  authorizing  the  Presi- 
dent to  order  a  draft  of  the  militia  of  the  States  for  nine  months  service, 
fixing  the  limit  of  age  between  18  and  21  years,  and  empowering  the  Pre- 
sident, in  case  any  State  should  not  have  the  proper  laws  for  putting  the 
act  in  force,  to  issue  regulations  for  a  draft  in  such  States.  Under  the  State 
law,  the  exempts  were  persons  in  the  army  and  navy,  ministers,  professors 
and  school  directors,  judges,  persons  discharged  from  the  U.  S.  service,  and 
officers  honorably  discharged  from  militia  service.  The  President  of  the 
United  States  is  also  exempt,  and  all  Government  officers,  Custom  House 
and  Post  Office  officers,  stage  drivers  and  ferrymen  on  post  routes;  all 
Inspectors  of  Customs ;  all  pilots  ;  all  sailors  actually  employed  in  the 
service  of  any  citizen  or  merchant  of  the  United  States  ;  with  such  others 
as  are  exempt  by  disability  or  chronic  diseases.  To  secure  accuracy  in  the 
enrolment,  an  act  was  passed  imposing  heavy  penalties  on  all  tavern  or 
boarding  house  keepers  or  others  refusing  information  to  the  Assessor,  and 
for  giving  false  information  respecting  themselves  or  the  parties  liable  to 
enrolment. 

On  the  9th  of  August  the  President  issued  his  instructions  for  the  draft, 
as  directed  by  act  of  Congress.  These  instructions  provided  for  places  of 
rendezvous  for  drafted  men,  and  the  enrolment  of  all  able-bodied  citizens 
between  the  ages  of  eighteen  and  forty-five.  A  commissioner  was  to  be 
appointed  for  each  county,  and  his  duties  prescribed  as  follows : 

''  The  enrolling  officers  shall  immediately,  upon  the  filing  of  the  enrol- 
ment lists,  notify  said  Commissioners  that  said  lists  have  been  so  filed,  and 
the  Commissioners  shall  thereupon  give  notice  by  handbills  posted  in  each 
township  of  his  county,  of  the  time  and  place  at  which  claims  of  exemption 
will  be  received  and  determined  by  him,  and  shall  fix  the  time  to  be  speci- 
fied in  the  order  aforesaid,  within  ten  days  of  the  filling  of  the  enrolment  from 
which  the  draft  shall  be  made,  and  all  persons  claiming  to  be  exempt  from 
military  duty,  shall,  before  the  said  days  fixed  for  the  draft,  make  proof  of 
such  exemption  before  said  Commissioner,  and  if  found  sufficient,  his  name 
shall  be  stricken  from  the  list  by  a  red  line  drawn  through  it,  leaving  it 
still  legible.  The  Commissioner  shall,  in  like  manner  strike  from  the  list 
the  names  of  all  persons  now  in  the  military  service  of  the  United  States — 
all  telegraph  operators  and  contractors  actually  engaged  on  the  5th  day  of 
August,  1862,  engineers  of  locomotives  on  railroads,  the  Vice  President  of 
the  United  States,  the  officers,  judicial  and  executive,  of  the  Government 
of  the  United  States,  the  members  of  the  Houses  of  Congress  and  their  re- 
spective officers.  All  custom  house  officers  and  their  clerks;  all  Postofficers 
!  and  stage  drivers  who  are  employed  in  the  care  and  conveyance  of  the 
mails  of  the  post  offices  of  the  United  States;  all  ferrymen  who  are  employ- 
ed at  any  ferry  on  the  post  roads;  all  pilots;  all  mariners  actually  employed 
in  the  sea  service  of  any  citizens  or  merchants  within  the  United  States; 
all  engineers  and  pilots  of  registered  or  licensed  steamboats  and  steam- 
ships, and  all  persons  exempt  by  the  laws  of  the  respective  States,  from

military  duty,  on  sufficient  evidence,  or  his  personal  knowledge  that  said 
persons  belong  to  any  of  the  aforesaid  classes,  whether  the  exemption  is 
claimed  by  them  or  not.  Exemption  will  not  be  made  for  disability  unless 
it  be  of  such  prominent  character  as. to  render  the  person  unfit  for  service 
for  a  period  of  more  than  thirty  days,  to  be  certified  by  a  surgeon  appointed 
by  the  Governor  in  each  county  for  that  purpose." 

Under  these  instructions  a  second  enrolment  of  the  County  was  made. 
James  L.  Graham,  Esq.,  was  appointed  Draft  Commissioner,  but  declined 
the  position,  and  at  his  suggestion,  the  appointment  was  transferred  to  Wm. 
B.  Negley,  Esq.  The  Deputy  Marshals  appointed  were  the  Assessors  of 
the  several  precincts,  who  were  supposed  to  be  eminently  qualified  for  the 
duty — a  mistake,  as  it  afterward  proved  that  one  man  could  not  perform 
thoroughly  a  duty  so  onerous — and  the  enrolment  proceeded  rap- 
idly. On  the  20th  it  was  announced  that  the  total  enrolment  of  the  coun- 
ty was  37,099,  divided  as  follows  : 
Pittsburg  11,187  1  Allegheny  5,709  |  Boroughs  6,870  |  Townships  13,333. 

The  apportionment  was  thus  announced : 
Pittsburg.         Allegheny. 
Quota,  3,277  1,609 

Credit,  2,016  1,354 

Deficiency,  1,261  255 

The  total  number  of  men  reported  as  having  enlisted  in  Pennsylvania  or- 
ganizations was  8,392,  to  be  taken  from  a  quota  of  10,593  leaving  a  defi- 
ciency of  2,201,  Five  hundred  and  fifty-eight  were  reported  as  having  en- 
listed in  regiments  not  belonging  to  the  State,  and  were  therefore  not  cred- 
ited on  the  quota. 

The  appointment  of  a  Draft  Commissioner  was  followed  by  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  Surgeon,  Dr.  A.  C.  Murdoch,  to  examine  applicants  for  exemp- 
tion on  the  ground  "of  physical  inability  to  bear  arms.  A  room  was  assign- 
ed him  in  the  Court  House,  and  for  several  weeks  his  labors  were  most 
arduous.  Private  examinations  were  made  in  Dr.  Murdoch's  office,  both 
before  and  after  his  office  hours  at  the  Court  House,  frequently  protracting 
his  labors  far  into  the  night.  For  the  examinations  in  his  private  office 
fees  were  charged,  giving  rise  to  a  great  deal  of  dissatisfaction  in  the  com- 
munity, and  suspicions  of  unfair  dealing.  None  of  the  rumors  were  sub- 
stantiated by  direct  charges  or  a  legal  investigation. 

The  labor  of  preparing  for  the  draft,  making  the  necessary  calculations, 
etc.,  was  so  heavy  that  the  clerks  in  the  Draft  Commissioner's  office  were 
kept  busy  night  and  day.  The  date  fixed  for  drafting  was  twice  postponed, 
once  to  Sept.  1st,  and  again  to  Thursday,  Oct.  16th,  the  Governor,  on  the 
last  occasion,  announcing  that  the  delay  was  occasioned  by  the  difficulty  of 
properly  deciding  th*e  claims  for  exemption  presented  by  Philadel})hia  and 
other  cities.  In  Allegheny  coimty  great  dissatisfiiction  was  expressed  in 
many  districts  at  the  defective  returns  of  the  Deputy  Marshals,  and  permis- 
sion was  given  to  amend  these  returns  up  to  Sept.  1st.  After  that  date,  the 
Commissioner  refused  to  receive  any  additional  returns,  save  those  of  '*new 
enlistments" — i.  e.  those  enlisted  subsequent  to  the  returns  of  the  Marshals. 


Of  Alleghenif  County,  41  i 


These  additions  required  the  certificate  of  the  mustering  ofiicer  that  the  par 
ties  were  actually  mustered  into  service.  ! 

A  meeting  held  in  the  Third  Ward  subsequent  to   the  date  fixed  by  the  , 
Commissioner  resulted  in  a  return  from  the  ward,  by  "block  committees,"  ofi 
some  three  hundred  names,   in  addition  to  those  reported  by  the  Deputies. ' 
These  names  the  Commissioner  declined  receiving  and  the  matter  was  re- 
ferred to  the  Governor,  who  placed  the  decision  entirely  at  the  discretion  of 
the  Commissioner.     Mr.  Negley  accordingly  revised  the  returns,  and  ac- 
cepted 132  names.     In  other  wards,  a  large  number  of  enlistments  were 
found  to  have  escaped  the  Deputy  Marshals,  but  it  did  not  become  neces- 
I  sary  to  present  them.     The  deficiency  reported  from  the  first  returns  of  the 
I  Marshals  was  gradually  reduced  by  the  amended  returns,  until,  on  Monday, 
I  October  13th,  the  announcement  was  made  that  no  draft  would  be  required 
I  in  Allegheny  county. 

j  The  Pittsburg  Subsistence  Committee. 

I  This  noble  organization  owed  its  existence  to  the  wants  of  soldiers  coming  into  and  passing 
I  through  our  city.  When  the  lamented  Col.  Samuel  W.  Black  was  raising  his  regiment,  sev- 
i  eral  companies  from  the  surrounding  counties  arrived  here,  and  were  quarterd  at  various 
I  houses  of  entertainment.  It  was  expensive,  and  as  there  was  no  camp  opened  in  the  vicin- 
j  ity,  and  no  public  provision  made  for  subsisting  the  men,  it  was  necessary  that  some  one 
j  should  become  responsible  for  their  expenses. 

I      James  Park,j  r.,  coming  to  the  knowledge  of  this  state   of  affairs,  with  the  liberality  that 

j  has  distinguished  him,  at  once  gave  directions,  that  until  further  orders  he  "would  become  || 

!  responsible."     Mr.  Park,  in   connection  with  Hon.  Thomas  M.  Howe,  then  proceeded  to  raise  |i 

a  fund  and  to  devise  means  to  feed  volunteers  substantially  and  at  a  less  cost  than  could  be 

done  at  the  hotels. 

A  meeting  was  held  at  City  Hall  and  the  following  Committee  appointed  : — Hon.  Thomag 
M.  Howe,  Chairman,  B.  F.  Jones,  Esq.,  George  Weyman,  Esq.,  Wm.  Thaw,  Esq.,  and  John 
Scott,  Esq. 

The  duty  of  the  Committee  was  to  attend  to  the  subsisting  of  such  companies  as  were 
forming,  until  they  were  regularly  mustered  into  the  U.  S.  service.  After  subsisting  Col. 
Black's  Regiment  for  some  ten  days,  until  they  left  for  Washington  City,  the  attention  of 
ttie  Committee  was  directed  to  the  wants  of  the  regiments  and  companies  passing  through 
our  city.  On  the  28th  of  July,  1861,  the  first  Regiment,  the  24:th  Ohio,  was  fed  by  the  Com- 
mittee. This  Regiment  was  ordered  to  report  at  Washington  city,  and  passed  through  our 
city  Saturday  evening,  July  27th.  They  had  gone  but  a  few  miles  when  they  were  ordered 
back  to  Western  Virginia.  They  were  quartered  Saturday  night  at  City  Hall,  and  on  Sun- 
day morning  a  breakfast  was  given  to  them  by  the  Committee.  As  no  rooms  had  been  as 
yet  fitted  up,  the  meal  was  given  to  them  standing  in  the  street.  The  following  week,  the 
Committee  had  the  ''  Old  Leech  Warehouse,"  corner  of  Penn  and  Wayne  streets,  fixed  with 
tables,  &c.,  for  accommodating  a  regiment  at  one  time.  On  Sunday  morning.  August  3d, 
1861,  the  first  regiment,  the  20th  Indiana,  Col.  Brown,  was  furnished  with  a  substantial 
meal  of  bread  and  butter,  ham  and  coffee.  A  number  of  young  ladies  and  gentlemen  was 
appointed  by  the  committee  to  take  charge  of  this  part  of  the  work — the  giving  of  a  meal  to 
regiments  and  companies  on  their  way  to  the  seat  of  war,  and  on  the  l7th  of  August,  1861,

Military  Record 


Early  in  October,  the  City  Councils  granted  the  use  of  City  Hall  to  the  Committee,  and 
on  the  16th  of  October,  the  first  regiment  was  fed  in  City  Hall.  The  Committee  has,  since 
its  organization,  furnished  meals  to  over  76,000  soldiers.  Of  this  number,  5768  were  sick 
and  wounded.  These  were  provided  with  medical  attendance,  and  all  comforts  their  situa- 
tion demanded. 

The  Committee,  after  receiving  several  appeals  for  supplies  from  some  of  the  Hospitals  of 
our  Array,  on  the  15th  of  January,  1862,  opened  depots  for  receiving  donations  of  Hospital 
Supplies.  They  have  forwarded,  up  to  Oct.  1st,  320  large  cases  of  supplies  to  the  different 
Hospitals  East  and  West,  containing  54,946  articles.  Amongst  the  articles  there  were  4800 
shirts,  2140  drawers,  2025  pillows,  1450  cans  fruit,  and  other  articles  in  proportion.  The 
ladies  of  the  Committee  nnder  the  management  of  Miss  A,  Thaw,  meet  every  Wednesday 
afternoon,  at  City  Hall,  where  they  cut  out  work  and  give  it  to  any  persons  willing  to  make 
it  up.  In  this  way  over  2,000  shirts  and  pairs  of  drawers  have  been  made  during  the  past 
six  months.     The  Committee  depends  altogether  on  voluntary  contributions  for  its  support. 

Amount  of  contributions  of  cash  for  Feeding  Fund,  $5,500 

"  "  Provisions,  500 


$6,000 
Amount  of  contributions  of  cash  and  articles  for  Hospitals,  $31,250 

We  can  only  say,  in  conclusion,  that  Committee  has  performed  its  work  well  and  thor- 
oughly, yet  without  public  demonstration.  They  have  earned  the  warm  gratitude  of  thou- 
sands of  way-worn  soldiers,  who,  without  their  kind  assistance,"  would  have  gone  on  their 
journey  uncheered  and  unrefreshed.     Verily,  they  have  earned  their  reward. 

The  number  of  pages  of  religious  Books  and  papers  distributed  at  the  rooms  of  the  Com- 
mittee amongst  soldiers  passing  through  our  city  was  246,000. 

THE  BOUNTY  FUND  SUBSCRIPTION. 

We  publish  below  a  classified  list  of  the  sums  subscribed  to  the  fund  for  paying  a  bounty 
of  fifty  dollars  to  volunteers  from  Allegheny  county.  The  list  includes  all  subscriptions 
above  $50,  our  space  forbidding  the  publication  of  smaller  sums.  In  some  eases  the  amounts 
returned  from  wards  include  sums  above  fifty,  and  where  these  could  be  obtained  they  have 
been  included  in  the  classified  list.

Subscription  to  Loans. 


For  still  further  proof  of  the  loyalty  of  Allegheny  county  to  the  Union,  we  give  Ihe 
amounts  subscribed  by  her  citizens  to  the  different  loans,  National  and  State  : 

To  the  7-30  G-overnment  loan,  three  hundred  and  twenty-seven  subscriptions  were  made, 
amounting  in  the  aggregate  to  $520,404  89,  from  Sept.  16th  to  Dec.  2d,  1861,  at  which  time 
the  books  were  closed. 

To  the  Six  per  cent.  Government  loan  $532,432  was  subscribed  from  May  21st  to  Oct.  14, 
1862.  We  could  not  obtain  the  number  of  the  subscribers,  a  convenient  record  not  being 
obtainable. 

These  subscriptions  were  made  at  the  office  of  Joshua  Hanna,  Esq.,  of  Hanna,  Hart  &  Co., 
Bankers,  corner  of  Third  and  Wood  streets.  At  least  $500,000  additional  was  taken  in  the 
east  by  parties  resident  in  the  county. 

Of  the  $3,000,000  State  loan,  authorized  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  May  15, 
1862,  the  following  amounts  were  taken  by  Banks  of  this  city : 

Bank  of  Pittsburg,  $90,000 ;  Exchange  Bank,  $90,000 ;  Merchants  &  Manufacturers' 
Bank,  $50,000  ;  Citizens  Bank,  $50,000  ;  Iron  City  Bank,  $40,000  ;  Allegheny  Bank,  $40,- 
000  ;  Mechanics  Bank,  $30,000.     Total,  $390,000. 

The  aggregate  amount  taken  of  the  loans  by  citizens  and  corporations  of  Allegheny 
county,  (including  the  half  million  taken  in  the  east,)  is  $1,942,283  89. 

Subscriptions  to  the  six  per  cent,  loan  are  still  being  made,  our  report  of  the  amount 
taken,  as  given  above,  being  up  to  the  14th  of  October  last. 

Uniforming  the  Three  Months  Men. 

No  provision  having  been  made,  either  in  this  city  or  in  Harrisburg,  by  the  authorities,  in 
1861,  for  uniforming  the  three  months  volunteers,  the  men  demurred  from  going  until  they 
were  suitably  clothed.  B.  F.  Jones,  Esq.,  assumed  the  task  of  equipping  one  company,  and 
depositing  his  check  for  three  thousand  dollars,  ordered  the  clothing  to  be  furnished, 
and  set  about  collecting  the  amount  to  reimburse  himself  With  what  success  his  labors 
were  crowned  will  be  shown  below.  Over  thirteen  thousand  dollars  were  collected  in  a  day 
or  two,  and  with  this  ten  companies  were  uniformed. 

Beside  these,  several  other  companies  were  supplied  with  uniforms,  by  private  subscrip- 
tion, of  which,  however,  we  can  find  no  record. 

This  sum  was  subscribed  with  the  understaLdiug  that  it  should  be  refunded  by  the  State, 
and  the  larger  part  of  the  donors  have  agreed,  in  case  it  should  be  thus  returned,  that  it 
should  be  appropriated  for  the  relief  of  distressed  families  of  vulunteers.  As  yet,  the  State 
has  done  nothing  either  in  this  case,  or  in  that  of  Messrs.  Morganstern  k  Bro.  who  furnished 
one  entire  company,  for  which  they  have  never  received  one  cent.  The  members  of  the  Leg- 
islature for  this  county  should  see  that  this  just  claim  against  the  Commonwealth  be  not 
allowed  to  slumber  during  the  approaching  session.  The  amount  subscribed  for  the  cloth- 
ing will  undoubtedly  inure  to  the  benefit  of  some  one  of  our  War  charities. 

In  some  cases  uniforms  for  commissioned  officers  were  furnished  out  of  this  fund,  a  fact 
that  should  be  stated  in  justice  to  the  contractors,  as  otherwise  the  disparity  between  the 
prices  charged  per  suit  would  attract  attention.

IN  CONCLUSION. 

Any  attempt  to  condense  the  record  of  the  last  eighteen  months — a  period  so  full  of  im- 
portant events — into  the  brief  limits  of  a  pamphlet,  must  necessarily  be  imperfect.  The  la- 
bor of  collecting  the  facts  presented  in  the  foregoing  pages  would  not  be  credited  by  any 
one  not  familiar  with  the  confused  state  of  affairs  which  marked  the  periods  of  recruiting 
following  each  call  for  troops.  There  exists  in  Allegheny  county  no  official  or  reliable  record  of 
ike  troops  iL-hich  have  left  it,  and  the  columns  of  the  daily  newspapers — accessible  to  but  few 
and  necessarily  inaccurate — furnish  the  only  data  in  relation  to  the  regiments  of  gallant  men 
now  in  service.     The  errors  and  omissions  in  our  record  must  be  attributed  to  this  ftict. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  Draft  Commissioner's  labors  it  was  shown  that  twelve  thousand 
six  hundred  and  ninet}'  men  were  in  Pennsylvania  service  from  Allegheny  county,  and  we 
have  no  doubt  that  the  members  in  service  in  organizations  not  belonging  to  the  State,  will 
increase  this  number  to  fifteen  thousand  men.  The  Committee  has  paid  $50  bounty  to  1664 
men,  and  $10  bounty,  with  county  bond  for  $50,  to  2326  men.     Total  3990. 

The  liberality  of  the  people  of  Allegheny  county  has  been  displayed,  since  the  outbreak  of 
the  rebellion,  by  contributions  of  money  and  other  necessary  articles  for  the  outfit  of  troops, 
care  of  sick  and  wounded  soldiers,  supplying  traveling  regiments,  supporting  families  of  ab- 
seatTcen,  and  contributing  to  the  support  of  the  government  by  loans  of  money.  Our  rec- 
ord shows  the  collection  of  the  following  amounts  : 

Of  7:30  and  6  per  cent,  loans  taken  in  the  county  .  .  .  .         $1,942,283,89

Total  2,136,692,34 

This  sum,  it  will  be  remembered,  does  not  include  the  sums  given  by  individuals  to 
companies,  nor  the  hundreds  of  private  benefactions  cf  every  description,  which  probably 
have  not  been  less  than  one  hundred  thousand. 

In  closing  our  sketch  of  the  events  transpiring  ia  and  around  our  city,  in  relation  to  the 
rebellion,  we  deem  it  but  a  fitting  tribute  to  those  worthy  gentlemen,  who  have  served  their 
country  and  the  cause  so  efficiently,  to  say  that  by  the  active  and  unremitting  spirit  of  com- 
paratively a  few  of  our  citizens,  was  the  abundant  patriotism  of  Allegheny  County  given 
shape  and  direction.  To  Hon.  Thomas  M.  Howe,  James  Parke,  Jr.,  John  Harper,  Hon.  Wm. 
Wilkins,  Thomas  Bakewell,  Reuben  Miller,  Jr.,  Isaac  Jones,  James  M'Auley,  F.  R.  Brunot, 
Wm.  F.  Johnston,  Geo.  W.  Cass,  W.  M.  &hinn,  James  A.  Hutchinson,  and  some  others 
equally  deserving,  do  we  owe  the  origin  ition,  and  the  successful  development,  of  the  great- 
er part  of  the  plans  which  have  resulted  in  placing  in  the  field  nearly  14,000  soldiers  from 
Allegheny  County,  and  for  placing  their  families,  at  least,  beyond  the  reach  of  want. 

And  without  desiring  to  seem  invidious,  we  may  say  that  no  two  soldiers  in  the  field  have 
rendered  their  country  greater  service  than  Hon.  T.  M.  Howe  and  James  Parke,  Jr.,  have 
done  in  the  business  departments  of  war  matters  at  home.  Possessed  of  business  ability  in 
an  unsurpassable  degree,  above  suspicion  for  sinister  motives  in  the  way  of  seeking  or  con- 
trolling business  patronage,  Mr.  Howe  has  at  all  times  been  found  ready  and  willing  to  sac- 
rifice every  domestic  comfort,  every  private  consideration,  for  the  public  good.  At  present 
he  is  the  A.  A.  A.  General  for  Western  Pennsylvania,  a  position  which  could  certainly  con- 
fer no  honor  upon  the  worthy  ex-Representative  of  this  great  manufacturing  district,  and 
which  he  was  only  induced  to  accept  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the  Executive.  His  ser- 
vices have  indeed  been*  arduous,  and  that  they  have  been  productive  of  good  fruit,  the 
honorable  exemption  of  Allegheny  County  from  the  operations  of  the  draft  is  a  living  proof. 


48  Military  Record^  &e. 


Of  Mr.  Parke's  services,  little  less  can  be  said.  As  in  the  case  of  Mr.  Howe,  his  purse 
strings  were  always  open,  and  however  distasteful  it  may  be  to  these  really  unobtrusive, 
yet  public  spirited  gentlemen,  to  be  thus  brought  to  notice,  we  would  deem  ourselves  derelict 
in  our  duty  as  faithful  chroniclers,  were  we  to  pass  them  over. 

Some  ill-feeling  has  been  created  in  the  community  by  the  number  of  persons  exempt 
under  the  "  disability  "  clause  of  the  law.  The  proper  course,  it  is  now  conceded,  is  to  put 
ALL  names  in  the  wheel — drafting  a  sufficient  number  to  cover  the  loss  by  examination — and 
permit  all  who  can  to  make  good  their  claims  to  exemption.  But  this  was  not  the  law,  and 
of  course  the  preliminary  examinations  ordered,  had  to  be  made.  That  a  large  proportion 
of  volunteer  recruits  become  inmates  of  military  hospitals,  before  leaving  their  camps  of 
instruction,  is  well  known,  and  a  worse  state  of  affairs  was  to  be  expected  among  the  drafted 
men.  It  should  be  remembered  that  among  the  volunteer  force  much  the  larger  portion 
have  been  from  the  working  classes,  men  who  by  daily  manual  toil  generally  escape  func- 
tional disorders — while  the  drafted  troops  will  include  ^  considerable  number  of  mercantile 
and  professional  men — a  class  subject  to  such  disorders.  It  was  desirable  to  avoid,  as  far 
as  possible,  the  drafting  of  men  whose  liability  to  constitutional  or  functional  disorders 
would  render  them  unfit  for  service  on  the  first  exposure,  and  in  view  of  these  facts  the  De- 
partment ordered  the  preliminary  examination.  A  duty  so  delicate  as  the  decision  on  claims 
of  physical  disability,  necessarily  involved  a  liability  to  occasional  error,  and  the  only  alter- 
native was  to  decide  as  carefully,  yet  as  leniently,  as  justice  would  permit.  Some  may  have 
been  exempted  in  this  county  who  were  less  unfitted  than  others  who  entered  no  claim,  but 
they  were  unquestionably  forced  to  present  the  strongest  proofs  of  their  allegations.  This 
the  law  requires — beyond  it,  the  Surgeon  could  not  go,  whatever  professional  jealousy  may 
have  insinuated  to  the  contrary.  Those  who  have  joined  in  the  murmurings  against  Dr. 
Murdoch,  the  Examining  Surgeon  for  this  county,  should  bear  these  facts  in  miud,  and  as 
a  simple  act  of  justice  learn  the  proofs  on  which  each  case  was  decided^  before  prejudging 
its  unfairness. 

Of  the  Sanitary  Commissions  of  Allegheny  County  we  had  intended  to  speak  at  length, 
but  were  compelled  to  forego  so  doing,  having  failed  to  obtain  any  definite  data.  Our  citi- 
zens sent  commissions  at  various  times  to  Eastern  Virginia,  (on  the  Peninsula)  and  also  to 
the  South-West,  to  ascertain  the  condition  and  wants  of  our  soldiers,  and  fully  prepared  to 
render  all  aid  necessary  to  their  comfort,  whettier  wounded,  sick,  or  in  want  of  clothing  or 
the  necessaries  of  life.  Steamboats  were  sent  to  Tennessee,  shortly  subsequent  to  the  battle 
of  Sbiloh,  with  physicians  and  nurses  and  an  abundance  of  hospital  stores,  returning  ja 
due  time,  after  having  rendered  very  efficient  aid  in  properly  providing  for  invalid  soldiers, 
transporting  some  400  from  the  immediate  scene  of  that  sanguinary  struggle.  Of  this  espedi-  j 
tion  F.  R.  Brunot,  Esq.,  had  the  superintendence,  and  most  faithfully  and  satisfactorily  dis- 
charged his  trust. 

ADDENDA. 

On  page  28th,  in  speaking  of  the  National  Cavalry,  Capt.  Boyce,  we  should  have  added 
that  the  company  was  attached  to  the  1st  Penna.  Cavalry,  Col.  Bayard,  and  participated  in 
some  brilliant  dashes  in  the  vicinity  of  Fredericksburg  and  on  the  Peninsula.  Capt.  Boyce 
resigned  on  account  of  ill-health,  and  1st  Lieut.  Williams  succeeded  to  the  command. 

Another  company  of  Cavalry,   under  command  of  Capt.  Ormsby  Robinson,  composed  ex- 
clusively  of  Allegheny  county  men,   is  attached  to  one  of  the  Pennsylvania  regiments,  and 
saw  active   service  on    the    Peninsula,  under  Col.    Averill.     The    cavalry  company  of  Capt.  j 
Faith  is  in  the  5th  Regiment,  Col.  David  Campbell,  not  in  the  4th,  lately  commanded  by  Col.  j 
J.  II.  Childs.    Capt.  Patrick  Kane  also  recruited  a  cavalry  company,  which  he  took  east  and  j 
there  joined  a  regiment  in  an  Irish  brigade.     Capt,  Hays  raised  a  company,  which  was  at- 
tached to  Col.  Emory's  Gth  (regular)  cavalry.  ' 

We  have  omitted  to  speak  of  Thompson's  battery,  composed  of  Allegheny  county  men,  and  I 
recruited  under  the  auspices  of  Gen.  W.  H.  Lamon,  authorized  to  raise  a  brigade,  in  which,! 
however,  he  did  not  succeed,  the  troops  temporarily  under  his  csntrol,  being  assigned  to  ; 
different  corps.  j 

Five  steamboats  were  fitted  out  at  this  port,  as  rams,  during  the  present  year,  viz  :  Miago,  j 
Capt.  Bausman  ;  Lioness,  Capt.  Shroades  ;  Samson,  Capt.  Porter  ;  D.  Fulton,  Capt.  Dal- 
zell  ;  T.  D.  Horner,  Capt.  Cadman.     These  boats  took  away  110  men  as  crews. 

Note. — We  have  been  requested  by  Dr.  A.  C.  Murdoch,  Examining  Surgeon  for  Allegheny; 
Co.,  to  state  that  the  name  of  Alexander  Addison  Miller,  of  Pitt  Township,  which  appears  I 
among  the  names  of  those  exera])ted  upon  a  disability  certificate,  appears  in  that  light,  upon  ! 
the  record  of  Commissioner  Negley,  through  a  mistake,  Mr.  Miller  having  never  applied  fori 
exemption,  through  any  cause  whatever.
